BB is lucky to be alive. A chest shot is the wrong shot to stop any dangerous game. If you are going to play this game you'd better know what it is you are up to, and what the consequences of getting it wrong are. Killing the bear isn't enough, because a dying bear will kill you if he's close enough to touch you. If you can't make a CNS shot, you must break a big bone that supports the animal to stop its forward mobility. Shooting the bear in the ass and breaking it's hip trumps shooting it in the chest. This is not about a humane one shot kill that the sportsman strives for, this is about survival. It is about staying cool when everything else has gone south. Its about making good decisions, and using the firearm you have to your best advantage.

LOL look, armchair quarterbacks!

EDIT: Apologies for this statement. Reading it with fresh eyes, I see that it wasn't a play-by-play critique.

Sorry is this a Leopard defence thread? With whatever you use you still have to hit them with it.

Says you?

I know of guys that could not turn a leopard in full charge at spitting distance with one. They tend not to use them again for such aplications after that I suspect.

from all the clips i've seen nothing will turn a Leopard thats charging they keep coming until they can't anymore. Interestingly if they do make it on to you the average is 200 stiches for every second they're on you.
 
Thats the picture of Phil S & his 30-06 I was referring too...

He carried a 458 Win Mag until he was given a 458 Lott then as he got older like all of us do he switched down to a 30-06...

Those are big ears on that bear... :rolleyes:
