This seems to be the typical shot given in Zimbabwe. I took this screen shot from a video posted on a .450 used on a charging buffalo.


Tell me shoot or don’t shoot.

Which dot

What rifle, caliber and bullet. Scope, red dot or irons

This young man made a killing shot on this bull standing as shown.

Red looks like it’s on the shoulder (my vote). Blue looks too high (maybe close to the neck(?) but I can’t tell for sure. Yellow looks like high lungs(?).

Scoped with something you shoot well. I bet that looked a lot better through a scope.

IMO
 
Hard to tell from the photo, but I think I’m going yellow and sending a second one right behind it. Open sights.

Red looks like it might be a little briskety to me.
 
Hell, I can’t even make out the buff. Maybe I should stick to ducks. :cool:
 
Had a little trouble figuring out where the shoulder is. I’d hold off taking the shot.
