Aim Knocked Off When Rifle Dropped; Deer Miss, Rabbit Nailed

Post by 308Mike »

YouTube linky-roo.

If you read the description, his son dropped his rifle a week before the hunt. It's pretty funny to see the buck standing there with the rabbit flipping through the air in the background. First shot comes at 1:58.

I laughed, glad you got it the second chance, nice animal.

I wondered why he kept waiting to shoot, then the bunny met the buckshot :lol: :shock: :lol:

Anyone here know why so much dust is being kicked up? Is he using buckshot?

I've never nailed the ground with a shotgun before, so bear with me.

[edit] So that's what people talk about when they say things like "kinetic energy dump". Stuff gets thrown everywhere.

From the amount of dust kicked up, and the response of the rabbit, I'd say probably .30 cal = .308, .30-06, 7mm Mag, .300 Win Mag, etc.

That rabbit disintegrated. Yeah, probably .28 to .30 cal. Looks like he missed twice. That's why you always want to check your sights and carry a backup rifle when possible.
My ideas are mine. You go out and get your own!
