I'm with you but this is about dangerous game cartridges/rifles. I guess wrecking meat is not a top priority. More important to knock a killer animal down. But it is also important that shooter not get knocked down ... with his gun. Hard to make a follow up shot laying on my back.The only thing more speed has gotten me is a bigger scrap pile of bloodshot meat.
Seriously? In what world would one get knocked down shooting a big bore if practiced? Here is a practice session, watch my feet, they don't even move.I'm with you but this is about dangerous game cartridges/rifles. I guess wrecking meat is not a top priority.

Right. And when dodging a charging buffalo it's always practical to set up a tripod and get feet properly oriented. "Wait there a minute big fella while I get set up. Okay, now I'm ready." Pffft. I sometimes almost lose my footing making second shot on skeet pairs and I'm shooting a heavy magnum auto twelve gauge with just 1 1/8 oz loads. But of course, I'm only 6'1" and 205 lbs. And I typically only shoot that gun a couple thousand rounds at the range every year. If I had to shoot my 404 on the run or backing up, staying on my feet might be a challenge. But same scenario shooting some cannon belching out 500 gr bullets at 2400 fps and likely either me, the gun, or both can easily wind up laying on the ground. But hey, that's just me. I don't change my clothes in a phonebooth. Seriously? In what world would you get knocked down shooting a big bore if practiced? Here is a practice session, watch my feet, they don't even move.
Saw a buddy try that when his 3 1/2” mag 10 knocked him off his stool.I'm with you but this is about dangerous game cartridges/rifles. I guess wrecking meat is not a top priority.
