Broadside
Hold on the back line of the near front leg, about a third of the way up the body. The dark flank stripe runs across the side of the body, but it is not a reliable aim point. Use the elbow.
Quartering and other angles
Quartering away, aim for the far front leg. Springbok herds often face away as they move off, giving a quartering-away shot.
Do not
Do not shoot at a pronking springbok. Wait for the animal to stop and stand.
Where they live and the typical miss
Found in the Karoo, Kalahari and Namibia. The typical miss is low or high on a small target at long range, caused by misjudging range or wind.
Wind
The Karoo wind can push a bullet off a small target at long range. Learn your holds and take the shot from a steady rest.
