Bloody awesome stuff. I've just done similar with my stepson and one of my mates two boys.
Started off with some range time, at 50yards with a .22 on a bipod, it's a norinco jw-27 so the stock is pretty short.
They all managed good groupings on target.
A few weeks later we headed to a new bunny spot and after a bit of a walk around and sussing the lay of the land each boy got a chance to nail a rabbit each. All three knocked over thiers rabbits clean, including one head shot.
All have been out with us shooting rabbits in the past, but all are very respectful of the rabbits, and a touch of sadness which is good.
I always think back to my first deer and the mate I was with asking if I felt a little sad for it, and when I said yes he replied good, I don't want to hunt with people who don't feel sad for what they have killed. It always comes to mind anytime I take an animal.
Thinking the next step is to get them behind my .22-250 and do some target practice with that before trying to find some goats.
