Im going back to Africa soon, and need to learn about the guns i will have to use
In this film, I set out to explore the world of safari rifles — from classic double rifles to modern bolt-action designs — and answer a simple question: What actually matters when the rifle stops being romantic and starts being a tool that can save your life!
Filmed at Holland & Holland, this became far more than just a look at big guns. With access to their shooting cinema and guidance from experienced instructors, I was able to spend real time behind rifles that most shooters in the UK rarely get the chance to handle.
