HDAV Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 for clay rabbits aim at the feet, aiming above means a waste of lead and powder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ollie Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 This is a very strange poll so I have not answered on the poll. It very much depends upon the situation. If the rabbit is running, you won't be aiming at all, you will be swinging through the rabbit to ensure that you mantain your swing with the speed of the rabbit. Everyboy has said aim low; I assume this is at rabbits sitting facing you? But you wouldn't aim low if a rabbit was running away from you. I shoot a lot of rabbits over ferrets throughout the year and I can ensure you it depends upon the situation . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
libs Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 Put the bead on its feet, sit it on the the rib. I've missed far too many by shooting over the top. Also use a fairly heavy load, they take more to bump off than you may think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Gould Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 (edited) why would you shoot above the rabbit slightly?, i aim at it Edited April 13, 2011 by Matt Gould Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkPoacher Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 Im spoilt, i use a holographic sight on my mossberg hushpower otherwise all my shots would be high, if the circle covers or touches the bunnie then its dead. like the other chap said its all circumstancial if they are coming in aim low, running away aim higher, then left to right just swing through. Its a whole different skill shooting from a moving atv though ! atb Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miroku4399 Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 I always aim at the head, its something that i was taught when i first started shooting. I dont know why you would aim at its feet. If the rabbit was tested on a pattern plate and you aimed at its feet there would be a lot of shot below the rabbit which would in theory strike the ground, however if you shot at its head you would still get shot below the rabbit but not as much. If you wanted to eat them there would be less pellets in the body. There are many different factors to be taken into consideration Distance Shot size Choke Placement of the shot Shane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 (edited) I do a lot of bolting rabbits to guns.If it's going left or right,swing through its legs and the second you're in front pull the trigger.If it's going away,blot it out,if it's coming towards you,shoot at it's front legs.
