    hell no Inder. Ive dropped more hares and rabbits with a heart shot or a lung shot when its off a bit.
    TX ill only body shoot to about 40 to 45m then head shots only after that.
    GAMO head and body or head shot out to 30/35m after that don't shoot don't trust its accuracy as the groups open up bit more.
    1322 is a 10/20m bird gun till I get new valve and port then I'll see what it does. But suspect 20 to 25m head/body then head only to about 30/35m on rabbit.
    Got a crosman 362 arriving this week. Which will be run over the chrony to determine its kill range and target shot to assess its accuracy range. Those two decide its kill range and placement.
    Ive spent a lot of time studying the heart position or rabbits and hares in various positions to see what I need to pass through to reach internals. That's the key to heart shots with air rifles.
    my worse shot was a head shot with gamo at distance that hit its back leg. ( Barrel got changed not long after that)
    last bad heart shot was with tx and that hare ran 10m and keeled over with punchered lungs.
    If you can hit the brain you can hit the heart.
    Know your quarry's anatomy.
