wymberley Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 When you say, "not at 200", does that mean not at 200 maximum? Similarly, do you mean the all your rabbits will be shot between 100 and 120, or is that an approximation of your maximum distance that you envisage?

casts_by_fly Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 Set it for 100 and you are point and shoot out to 125 or so. Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottoj18 Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 Windy and light rain I find great for rabbits ... the wind hides your sound and sent and a light rain helps camouflage your outline. Go out with a lamp you will defo get a few ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
