Broadside
Follow the back edge of the near front leg up about a third of the chest height. The heart sits low, just above the elbow. A zebra's chest is deep and the shoulders are heavy; the stripes over the shoulder make it hard to see where the leg ends.
Quartering and other angles
Quartering away, aim for the far front leg. Quartering to, enter at the point of the near shoulder. Zebra herds are nervous and move constantly; wait for your stallion to stand clear.
Do not
Do not aim by the stripes. Find the leg first, then the elbow, then hold above it.
Where they live and the typical miss
Plains (Burchell's) zebra range across Southern and East Africa, and Hartmann's mountain zebra are found in Namibia. The typical miss is high over the back, caused by the stripes.
Tough animal
Zebra are tough and have heavy bones. Use a bullet that holds together and penetrates well.
