*1..I wasn't sure if i did get it in the body or in the head because we were shooting from a fence line for some farmers but we didn't have permission to go onto their property but could shoot from where we were at as long as we didn't shoot any cows or leave our empty casings. I know the rabbit was in fact dead but wasn't able to tell where the actual impact was.

*2..Okay this is funny story behind this one. I just got my bow maybe a few months before trying my luck on getting an rabbit. My dad and I went to this large brushy area where rabbits were running around quite a bit. I was basiclly just walking around flushing the rabbits up, which always seem to have a bad habit of doing so after i passed by and stayed among heavy brush. I was able to get one shot off at one, but because i never tried shooting at running targets, i mislead this one and my arrow hit low and right, however when it hit the dirt, it tumbling end over end and hit the rabbit in the body with the nock end. So i think that was my best shot with my bow so far even if i didnt kill it lol

*3..This happen just a few days ago. I took a shot at this rabbit and hit it, it went into some thick brush and i wasn't able to locate it until yesterday. The 'yotes got to it so i couldn't tell where my arrow hit but i had some blood on my arrow (what was left of the rabbit was about 30 feet from my arrow)
