It's something that takes a while to get your head around as most shooters just can't shoot accurately the first time or two. You struggle to actually pick one rabbit to aim at, wait for it to stop and then shoot at the right time in those conditions, too many moving targets! That's how you end up with shot-shy frightened and/or lightly wounded bunnies which is what gives rec. shooters such a bad rep with the landowners and pro hunters.
    Yes. You need to be calm and systematic. I can be both sometimes and neither too often But they seem to appreciate our consistent and concensous

    Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing, and right-doing, there is a field. I will meet you there.
