Thread: Back to the old stamping ground

Meet up with a farmer the other day doing our groceries on who's property I spent many hours nightshooting in the Pest Board Days. He quickly invited me up for a rabbit shoot as he said the numbers were still good on the property.
My wife and I went up today for a bit of a look around and it was nice just walking around the paddocks looking for rabbits.
Numbers were good and my shooting was a little rusty to start with but later improved, the little 22 K Hornet working well at the 100 to 155 yard mark which was the longest shot for the evening.
We shot a total of 22 Rabbits so was a good start getting back into what I did for a living 10 plus years ago. Plenty more rabbits were seen and we only did three small gullies so we will be back for round two plus many more I would imagine.


One of the Gullies we shot, plenty of rabbits at the head of this one.


The rabbits we picked up, the cat is going to be happy.

Yeh I shot two rabbits with HV 22 and both managed to get down burrows, the K Hornet knocks them down a lot better, although one i hit got away also with the Hornet, it's a problem when they sit right at the entrance of there burrows.

35gr vmax works well

using 45 gr Hornady and 40 gr Noslar BT, both shoot to same point of impact.
