Women in Africa?

[EastWaViking]

And have the action 'broke'...

i'm going out on a limb here to say i don't think it's common practice to carry in africa with the action broke, on the shoulder, on a sling, wherever etc. seems everyone's always locked and loaded.

and pointed at the guy in front of her!

Here is another one.

NR=1

why does she unshoulder to run the bolt?

It is a common carry in Africa because everything there has thorns (really BIG ones). You need to be able to move your rifle around a lot to get through the thick stuff. It's also faster to get ready to shoot. I know of no one that carry's with a double broke open.

As she is not in the front, the muzzle should be pointed off the her right some.  People need to realize that everyone around the world doesn't do things or see things the same as we do in this country. When in Rome ...........

......potentially shoot your guide?

Starting to think this isn't the place for me. I believe I wrote something to the effect that the muzzle should be pointed off to the right a bit. Until you try stomping through some that the stuff they have over there with the rifle on your shoulder (I did) it's kind of hard to understand why in their case it's probably the best way. 

[EastWaViking]

No, this is the place for you! I understand what you are saying.... carry it the way that works best in the conditions, and the way they do it down there.  Pointed off to the side a bit is MUCH better than pointed right at the guide.  My complaint is they should NEVER show unsafe gun handling on videos even if it is a moment of the gun pointing at somebody.  There is never a reason, ever, to even for a split second, have the barrel of a gun pointed at a person be it here or Mars.

i agree...why not?

 

[BobW]

Can't argue with that.

by the way, welcome to the site BobW.

Thanks, I keep thinking I should put something in the introductions but haven't gotten around to it.

come on guys this is crazy. I can not believe this crap. We should stand behind any women or anybody for that
matter that's is even willing to hunt let alone hunt dangerous game. I haven't been on this sight for long but I am
beginning to notice allot of nit picking on stupid crap. I think women have every right to hunt as you and I do.
I have guide many women on brown bear hunts and they did great hunting and shooting. so give them a break
and help them out don't knock them down!!

Man, I am hiding this topic for a little bit. One because I am ashamed that a question like this even got asked, and secondly because if my wife sees this one you are not SAFE. As far as having my back when the poop hits the fan there is no one I would trust more than her. We have been on a lot of hunts together, no not africa but grizzly hunting was about our most extreme and she was with me the entire way. Bad thread to start

I have no problem with a woman having my back in the woods, especially if she is as good a shot as my mom was in her day.  As for Dangerous Game, let em at em.  No buff or lion or elephant is a match for a woman when she has made up her mind.... ask any man...   

Secondly, until WE MEN, get off our testosterone based high horses, women will never be a large number in our group.  Personally, I like women in hunting camp, they make good cooks!!!!!      (I AM KIDDING)!!!!

Yeah and we look a lot better than your other hunting buddies

I'm for women who can and will do it, but when they start pointing the gun at me whether loaded or not (male or female) I really don't want them around me.
