More than likely punched through the rabbit and hit something hard in the ground. Yes bullets can turn around and head back towards the shooter. No shot is ever safe realy, you just try and minimize the risk and ride the wave of luck everytime the trigger is pulled.
I have been hit with frag off poppers on ranges and even had a deformed projectile hit me in the leg while watching ipsc, that stage didnt have plates. Ive had a .22 projectile come back up the range and pass between me and another shooter in our bays while shooting issf.
Its going to happen no matter how careful one is.
I work on the theory that if you can hear it zinging while its riccocheting then its not coming towards you!
