Just on front edge of onside shoulder and out through middle of offside shoulder. Was a reasonably gusting wind blowing left to right up the gut they were in so it did hit a little forward of where I was aiming (I didn't dial for wind). Ideally it would have hit about 6-7cm further back on the on side, but when it is hitting with 4,920 foot pound of force at that range he was going down... (considering an average 7mm RM with amax's has about 3,400 foot pound at the muzzle...)
If it's not a first round hit you need to practice more
U energy skite you!
Well done! Got to be happy with that trip and what a great trophy.
Save our Tahr. They belong in the southern alps.
Nice bull Sam. He's a monster. Looks like a fun trip, thanks for the write up.
If you don't get Dirt, Blood or Grease under your nails it ain't a hobby
A couple of photos of the head (semi) cleaned up next to a 12" bull I shot in May...

Well done fulla. That 338 certainly packs a punch.
Were the Thar deaf or just quite a distance away? You seemed to be yelling at each other (did you have plugs in your ears?).
Yep, ear plugs in...
They were 470m away and we had a strong wind blowing left to right so they wouldn't hear us. Sounds a lot louder on the video than we were too though...

Man he carries the mass all the way to the tips thats for sure
Must have been photoshopped i reckon!
Send him up to me for a look - im sure when i send it back it is only a 10 inch like Blair reckoned lol
Jealous - Me?
Better than anything I have ever seen on the hoof.
Just to quantify this... After I shot the bull both tui_man2 and I thought he was a big 12', maybe 13' at the outside due to the way he carries a lot of mass made his horns look shorter than they actually were. Blair thought he was a 10" bull, only because he missed the other one with him (which now in hindsight was probably a solid 12.5"-13" bull)...

That photo of the pointy bits is impressive. Well done! Has Blair stopped kicking himself yet?
Thats bloody impressive, makes the 12" look tiny
Rule 5: Check your firing zone
