Don't be too upset, just let the experience remind you to do plenty of practise with your Lightning on paper targets.
I'm not saying theres anything wrong with your shooting now, but keeping sharp is a good thing <img src="http://jsramsbottom.co.uk/bbs/e/icon_wink.gif" alt="Wink" width="15" height="15"><!--graemlin:-->

As for the rabbit, I have seen them leap into undergrowth or down holes even after a righteous brain shot, so it's not certain that it suffered.
