    .22 subs often pass through rabbits , can bounce and end up hitting the side of buildings 100 meters away. Happens a lot. Keep that in mind and you'll not piss anyone off even it you have informed them before shooting. Communication is key/ Ive shot camping grounds and using the principle of driving round late afternoon and talking to all the campers at home , and putting up signage a few hours before a shoot works wonders. If you have access to a PCP and a thermal use that off a tripod as your walking. If you driving similar rules apply In other words pay particular attention as to where you start and where you finish so to always be shooting away from tents, caravans , houses.

    Always be prepared to pass up shooting a rabbit or groups if there is any chance a miss could end up disturbing or harming dwellings or people.. Youll get those rabbits on the next shoot and pick times of year when there are not many tourists or residents around. It amazing just how many people can be out and about after dark.
