Default Damn Rabbits!!

I've got rabbits (Cottontails) eating my peas in my garden.[:@] Last year I zipped 3 of them with my recurve in 3 shots. The yardages were 20 yards, 25 yards, and 35 yards. Funny thing was the 3 rabbits I got last spring were the 1st 3 arrows I've shot in about 5 months and I couldn't of hit them better.

Well this evening I seen 2 rabbits out there and I snuck with in 31 yards of it and let an arrow fly. I thought I nailed it but I was just short about an inch or so or it moved before my arrow got there. Either way It was right there and just missed.

An hour later it was back. I got with in about 20 yards this time and shot about 3 inches short. I went to look for my arrow and there the rabbit was at about 15 yards. I thought to myself your dead. I don't usually miss at that range. Well you guessed it, I missed!![:@] The arrow went right under his throat. All I had was a head shot and I missed low an inch or so.[&:] Last weekend I was at a Traditional shoot where I shot a good 60 arrows so I can't use the excuse that I haven't shot in a while.[8D] Heck I didn't get to practice last year I did much better. Its weird how stuff pans out sometimes.

Rabbits 3 me 0 so far!

Till next time folks!!!
