JUST WATCHED MAX PRASAC's NEW SHOW (EPISODE 1) "BIG IRON" ON AMAZON PRIME. IT WAS HIS 2018 AFRICA HUNT, MOSTLY ABOUT HIS CAPE BUFFALO HUNT. VERY COOL SHOW, HE CRAWLED TO WITHIN 15 YARDS OF THE BUFF AND WHACKED IT WITH HIS BFR 500 JRH.

Congrats, Max! I really hope this works out for you and there?s plenty more to come. I can?t watch the video, but I?m sure it?s fantastic.
It takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger squeeze.

Hey Max, just watched it. Looks like an exciting hunt to say the least. One question on the Nyala...was that a one-shot kill?
The meat won't fry if the lead don't fly.

I?ve watched it on my phone... ?Can?t? was maybe a bad choice of words. I don?t have amazon prime and really don?t know anything about it. I?ll find me a millennial and get some guidance.

One question on the Nyala...was that a one-shot kill? We're trying to show all aspects of handgun hunting by including it in a limited format. This was merely supplemental to the buffalo hunt. It took two shots (my first was bit low and shot from a greater distance). There was a fence in the background (a property line that it could have easily jumped) and the producers didn't want to show it because then it looks like a canned hunt (which it wasn't). Besides that, it wasn't meant to be shown in its entirety (the Nyala hunt) because the buffalo hunt is the story, the Nyala hunt a mere add-on. Keep in mind that we had more than 24 hours of footage that needed to be crammed into two 22 minute segments which is a daunting task. My greatest concern was that we show the buffalo hunt in its entirety.

Well thats what producers do and i know some platforms for tv shows wont show a hunt with a fence (high or low fence) or a feeder. So it makes sense and well, producers do what producers do and dont necessarily hunt. At least he showed all the buffalo and how fast it went down which is faster than 95% of the rifle hit ones ive seen.

I watched it last night. Really enjoyed it. I liked that it showed how the hunts are done and the ups and downs of the chase, instead of just showing the final stalk and shoot. I laughed when I saw saw the shells in the guide?s belt cartridge holder. They looked about 6? long! Congratulations on a job well done!

Watched it last night, thank the Lord my wife buys tons off Amazon and has a Prime membership). Great show and what a stalk for the buffalo. Maybe, just maybe, this will help to quite the nay-sayers on the whole "Can't do that with a handgun". Thanks Max!!

He was pointing it at the buffalo when I took my first shot. After it reared up, feeling the effects of the Punch bullet, he stopped pointing the rifle at the bull.

When I was waiting to get my revolvers at the airport in Port Elizabeth, I had a heated "discussion" with a rifle hunter (an American) who told me what I was doing was a stunt. There's a lot of ignorance that needs correcting! It will be a daunting task!

Real good video Max, that's some real rough, rocky country for buffalo. Well done & also on the follow up shots, that's where many don't finish a job. He was down & out in a hurry.

Great footage! That took a lot of work, I am sure. Sure nice to see a show like this, and even better that it was presented as a "put this idea to rest" example. Thanks Max for representing handgun hunting. The archery parallel was a good perspective, too.

Great job on the video! It was better edited and photographed than most hunting shows with big $$ behind them. Keep up the great work! I am ready to go back to Africa after watching it. I still need to handgun hunt a hyena!
