RE: got a cottontail with my pistol
These run pretty readily for some reason. In hindsight I'm sure if I were smooth enough I could've done the 1/4 turn and got a steady shot but it all worked out. I was in NO cover so I knew he could see me perfectly since I could see about the front half of him so I just took it like I was.
So I'm either lucky or the 150 or so shots at the range yesterday really helped hehe.
BTW that's how I figured it to be 15-20 yards. I did all of my shooting at a 15 yard target yesterday and it was close if not slightly farther than that target.
