You far too polite. It was a fk up that missed a beat and the shooter may now thinks he is above the knowledge built from the year 1700's by blood spilt under the African sky, by men who underestimated the power of African beasts.
I am fond of this boy, I hope this does not make him over estimate himself and under estimate the power of the beast - I have been almost done once by a bush buck and once by a bush pig, with a few close calls by both and a wart hog that were not sooooo bad. Those little beasts gave me some and much respect.
Yes the bullet has proven itself on Waterbuck and Kudu 50-60 x now + a buffalo.
I mentorship was obviously not that good if he did what he did ???????
In my defence - young male, rifle and wide open spaces - fk that, woulda done the same I guess, buy Ye'! Lets leave it there.
I am who I am - I am not who you want me to be.
Therefore I am me.

Maybe, one day, you could write a fictional story about "Bullet proof Dave and the daggaboy" .

Positive experiences aren't the ones that you learn the most valuable lessons from.
