Great Practice Target For Buffalo Hunting

No matter how fancy or simple a paper target may be, it is 2 dimensional. For hunting shot placement and bullet track on any big game, you have to think in 3 dimensions. For buffalo or large animal practice, I just use a plain, large black bull on a paper target or a large paper plate, spray painted black, on a piece of cardboard. I practice from about 25 yards to no more than about 100.
Yes you really need to think of the track of the bullet, the whole way through.
For @DSJR I have to take my hat off to you and your son for going on what I expect is the very first in a headless cape buff hunt :ROFLMAO: :A Stirring:(y)saves on them trophy impo fees eh(y)
But in all seriousness great idea and love those targets!

Hey my friend, I am returning to SA for a Cape Buffalo hunt in June 26. My outfitter has suggested Highveld but I have read some poor reports. Wondering how satisfied you were with your mounts from them? Thanks in advance.
Finally back to somewhat normal I missed reading the messages and posts

Hi PaulB,
I have a Ballard Arms Model 1885 chambered for .333 Jeffery Flanged. Do you have any idea where I can get ammo for this?

I am new to this forum so I am sorry if I am doing something wrong!
Thank You!
