You must practice,practice,practice your shooting and ranges estimation if you don't have a range finder, then once adept at that comes the stalking skills don't think you can just walk to say 30 yards from a Rabbit and shoot it. It takes a certain amount of skill to stalk, you must determine wind direction even the slightest breeze in the wrong direction and the quarry will pick your scent up, slightest vibration from your walking they will pick it up, there's lots lots more involved all this as to be practiced before making a shot on live quarry: Dave
