Welldone, nice dinner there

I would humbly suggest that that shot says more about the talent of the shooter than the abilities of the rifle

Ps

Perhaps a tiny bit of credit goes to the rifle, but most goes to the rifleman

Is that an Atec moderator, how do you find it with subsonic ammunition? Just put a deposit on a 457 yesterday and bought an Atec mod too.

Thank you but I don't see it so.
I've just been shooting off hand for a long old time.
When I use sticks at night it feels like cheating.

It is yes and I love it. Plenty quiet. The strike on the prey makes more noise.

I too shoot off hand regularly

That you find such a shot a mere ‘pitch putt’ says a bit about your off hand shooting

Excellent to see someone NOT head shooting rabbits
But beware, some of the 12ftlb boys will be after you for cruel and inhumane shooting

Cheers

I think they may be out of season in Scotland just now.

Excellent shot and a fine dinner or two. Either that or you're a raving mincer with 8 inch paces.

It’s a hare. maybe with a DNT you can’t see the difference

Bruce Almighty just slipped up, can’t let that go!

In fairness to Bruce…he’s still right that its not a headshot rabbit.

Long shot so I suppose the question is can you repeat it humanly again?
So why shooting hares this time of year.
I guess I'm coming over negative but I'm concerned that posts like this encourages others to give it a go with not the result you got.
Enjoy your hair
