fieldsportsman 107 Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 hi all, can anyone give me any tips when out lamping rabbits with the air rifle Quote Link to post
rabbit.slayer.no.1 3 Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 i find a rifle lamp is best , also use a red filter as a white one can spook them . the other night i managed to get only 12ft away from one . have a quick sweep around the feild with the lamp and turn it off if you see a bunny walk in that sort of direstion till ur close anuff to take your shot , then flick your lamp on and away you go. hope this helps. carl Quote Link to post

I'm in need of a refresher cuz the darkness is drawing in fast and furious Been a while since I did any lamping (apart from the last couple of nights with Dillan). ONLY thing I can suggest if you dont have anyone to show you how its done is PRACTICE, Practice and then practice some more Took me a year to figure it out (cuz I didn't have any one to show me) but it paid dividends Phantom Quote Link to post
