After several months of practicing with my .32 Crockett, I finally got the chance to go hunting yesterday morning. After about 3 hours of seeing nothing at all, I noticed some cottontails on a road next to a grain sorghum field. I snuck up to about 50 yards, and saw that there were two of them. I took aim and shot at the first one, and as soon as the smoke cleared, I knew I had gotten him. But I didn't see the other one run away. As I approached, I saw that there were two dead rabbits there - the bullet had passed through the first and killed the other one too! This is the first time I had fired this gun at anything other than paper. Very encouraging first time out...
 
Just be careful you don't do that come deer season. :what:
" Jeb you got a tag don'tcha?" :crackup:

Two rabbits on the first ever hunting shot fired? I think you've got to come up with a special name for that gun! :thumbsup:
 
Dang that is some fine shooting. Them roundballs aren't THAT expensive that you have to conserve them are they? :crackup:

Congrats again on your hunt and shooting.
 
Way to go! Them little lead balls do a good job. You may not have to conserve them but now you have to name that gun "Kills two" Or "two killer" or something along that line.

New ID = "Dances With Rabbits"

Yeah - I've been thinkin' hard about a proper name for her (bunny gunny? rabbit habit? hare splitter?).

I just wish I could say I did it on purpose.
