    My first wabbit

    Last night i shot my first wabbit, yesterday my big brother let me shoot some targets with grandads slug gun and i did very well, i shot right handed with a strong left eye, untill dad picked this up and got me shooting left handed. Dad also promised to take me wabbit shooting when we visited grandad in the Wairarapa, so last night he did, i followed him around and watched him miss a magpie, then we saw a cat but didnt shoot it in case it was the neighbours, it also scared the only wabbit away that we saw, but then another wabbit popped out from under the fence line, dad said sneak quietly right behind him so i did the wabbit knew we were there and hopped back over to the fence line but thought it was safe and out of range from the slug gun, it didnt know we had dads .22, dad put the rifle down on a turn style and said line it up just like you did with the slug gun, i was very steady and pulled the trigger, the wabbit jumped striaght up in the air and dropped on the spot, i had a big grin on my face but dads was bigger, we took the wabbit back to the house and no one beleved i shot it, but dad and i know, it was a head shot too so dad skinned and gutted it and now it is in the slow cooker for dinner
    Here is my first ever shot with a .22, and the rifle with the 10 pound steel suppresser is bigger than me

    Excellent. Well done young fellah.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Yep. You've had one shot at a wabbit! 100m into the boiler room April last year with my wee 22lr.



    Don't think I'll let you play with my toys any more.

    Sort your breathing and you'll be away. You need to put a ruler or something for size reference in the pic TM.
