    Hey Mighty Boosh, everything the boys say on here is solid advice.
    Personally I find as with any shooting shot placement plays a large part. If you have a rabbit right next to it's burrow a gut or hind quarters shot weather using Hi speed or Subs will result in the rabbit mortally wounded but escaping down its hole.
    I do like the way subs deliver their energy and often have a rabbit picked up and flipped clean over by subs where a lot of hi speed just rips through. Still results in a dead rabbit though.
    The one thing with subs is you need to do is spend some time working out your drop rate. Just takes a bit of practice but once you have it figured out it is very satisfying to get kills at 100mtrs plus.
    Your CZ ( I am a huge CZ fan ) is an excellent platform with GOOD optics to be a total first rate rabbit killer............practice, practice, practice........
