I got 5 shots at rabbits off my hounds in a short two hour hunt this morning.
2 of them were about out of range till I got the shot off but the others was just me being me, not able to connect on a running target.
I have shot clays with my trade gun, and done real good on paper targets with roundball, even the woodswalk placed very well.
Daggonit! these rabbits though! I just can't connect! I have fun trying. The last rabbit I missed on the jump but the hounds circled it back around and I got a shot at it hoppin' along.
Another one bites the dust to my homemade black powder anyhow.

Thanks for sharing Brian. One of my favorite pastimes! They certainly can be sporty little targets....

Love that gun of yours, Skychief..

At least you didn’t get skunked Brian. Fun times!

I’m the same way Brian!! LOL!! I struggle with the real live thing when it’s moving!!
Glad you were out having fun with your dogs and trade gun!!

Lead the rabbits 2feet! This will cover 30 to 40 Yards on a rabbit in high gear respectfully depending on your load?

Maybe I need to lead further. That'll take getting used to

Congrats and fine looking pot fix'ns! Wasckly wabbits make fun for the hunt!

Sounds like a good hunt. Beats stomping the brush and not even having an opportunity.

Very nice, good shooting! Rabbits can be a challenge.
