Kiri made this little tongue in cheek review during our recent African Trip.

I've never used an escort service but wasn't a bit offended.

Your duck hunting reminds me of our dove hunting crazy

That particular kind of duck shooting does not especially appeal to me. We had much wilder times in Africa on the evening flights.

That's the kind of duck shooting I'd like to do. The heck with the water and decoys. Just stand around in a field and blast away. I agree with Joe...like dove shooting.

That is great video about the escort and Spanish sxs!

Dig, did you say there were "escort" services provided on the plane "flights" to Africa? smile

Could you please explain again about how you bring a repeater into Africa? Or was that a camp gun?
Posted By: Small Bore Re: The best guns for Africa - 09/27/12 01:07 PM
We just have to do the right paperwork. No problem really - Kiri does it all.

Dig, Great pictures!! It looks like you had another great time. How well did the 16 gauge (bore) ammunition hold up?
Posted By: Small Bore Re: The best guns for Africa - 09/27/12 02:14 PM
The 16-bore ammo was Eley VIP: as good a cartridge as you can get. Peter fired about 750 of them.

That is a good 16 gague load. Back when you could, I ordered a flat of them. They are almost gone, now. Down to two or three cases.
I'm not sure I'd want to fire 750 of them in a day-they certainly do let me know when one has gone off in my 6lb, 4oz double. Glad it isn't any lighter.

Best,
Ted

In a week, not a day. He also had his Lang SLE 12-bore with him.
