doie1 22 Posted July 4, 2019 Report Share Posted July 4, 2019 So it’s been at least 3 years since I ventured out with my rifle, last night I dusted off the cobwebs check my zero and went out on a new permission. Within 2 minutes of stepping out of the truck I was presented with my first rabbit around 90yards away, got him in my sights squeezed the trigger and sure enough I missed him, absolutely gutted, think I rushed the shot (I put it down to the excitement of the chance of getting my first rabbit in a long time) It wasn’t long before we saw another rabbit this time a little further away, got into position and once again got him in my sights this time taking my time making sure I didn’t rush, slight squeeze of the trigger and bam, the lovely sight of the rabbit leaving the ground, I got him, which restored my confidence. Ended up with 4 rabbits in total, not a big amount but was chuffed to bits with it being my first outing in a very long time. Was nice to get out in the fresh air with no distractions and getting some bunny’s was a bonus. Looking forward to the next time. 5 Quote Link to post
