No WTF needed.... Let me clarify..... I shot a deer with it when I was about 18; young, dumb and thought I knew it all, as teenagers do. It was only about 15m away (a fallow doe). But it's not something I'd do now as a 57-year old.... You learn as you grow older

And 75m at a rabbit is ethically far enough for "me" to shoot a rabbit with a .22 (head shot as I don't want to waste meat or risk gut shooting it). I don't think I'm a crack shot; just average. Like I said; you learn as you grow older
