Broadside
Hold on the back line of the near front leg, about a third of the way up the body. The chest is compact and the vitals sit low.
Quartering and other angles
Quartering away, aim for the far front leg. Reedbuck often run a short distance after being flushed and then stop to look back, giving a quartering-away shot.
Do not
Do not shoot a reedbuck bounding through long grass. Wait for it to stop.
Where they live and the typical miss
Common, mountain and Bohor reedbuck range across Southern, Central and East Africa, in grassland, reedbeds and vleis. The typical miss is a hurried shot at a running animal.
Grass and wet ground
Reedbuck live near water in long grass. Watch for the animal's head and horns above the grass, and be ready when it steps into the open.
