David Tubb and his spotter were in South Africa last week. Apparently they are checking out our field huntingrifle shooting competions to maybe start it up in America.
I did not get to meet him.
The report back I got from those who did was quite impressed. He made a first shot kill out to 1750yds, and a few at shorter distances of 1500 and 1200 yds etc.
 
He also participated in one provincial shooting competition and placed a very respectful 7th place.
Apparently he shot some animals in the jawbone area, which carries a minus score for wounding. That hurt his score real bad. Ah, an inch up or down ......!!!!
Total contestants were 135.
Look at the "penkop" an Afrikaans slang for a young child under 13 years of age. He came 3rd!!
The same child won the previous shoot. Because of his size he is allowed a few privilges such as a rest when standing and shooting etc, because the rifle is to heavy for him to hold. His score is not officialy counted for that reason. But watch this space.(As I always maintain...some of us are born for a certain thing in life....a true gift from God.)
