Dumb Bass is correct.

First, identify what the animal is. Sounds like you need a better flashlight if you can't identify an animal 50 feet away.

Second, before you shoot be sure of your target and what is beyond and to the right and left of it.

Third, why are you shooting warning shots? IMO, shots are done only when needed or at a target for practice. If you are not shooting at an intended target, you have potential to hit something else or have a ricochet.

Sounds like you need to take a firearm safety course.
