Thanks, yes a major problem there, i have pics of some of the other holes from a couple of weeks ago. Scope is a 4.5-14 Weaver Grandslam, i havnt spent much time getting the drop all fully dialed in and the ballistic app bang on yet, best i do that.

Just watched with my daughter, both enjoyed it. Trying to convince her to come hunt rabbits with me... What camera you using to film?

Thanks, yes it can be hard getting the kids out at times, i tried to take my 8 year old daughter out for that shoot i filmed (she wasnt keen, she can shoot very well at the range, but i dont think shes that keen on shooting animals). I wont force it, but hopefully one day that'll change. Camera was a Canon Powershot SX50.

Personally we body shoot everything, main reason is the bullet stops right there.

The holes are many and massive. Certainly evidence of bark off trees too. The previous trips there a couple of weeks ago, i shot the majority of the 50 in the body, but did try to challenge myself a bit more this time with the head shots to a degree, but you do make a very valid point about no bullet pass thru's.
