Had the first hunting session tonight, went out about 9.30ish, just me and my Son and his raider .22, we waited up in some long grass, sure enough 10-15 min rabbits appeared, l spent a little while this afternoon zeroing in the rifle so l knew it was spot on. l took the first shot, l know full well l hit the rabbit, we both heard the crack on impact but that rabbit turned and ran for cover, had to wait awhile before they came out again, second shot was also a good hit, this rabbit literally left the ground, but again scuttled back into the undergrowth, now this leaves me wondering, two good hits but no kill, the rifle is a raider 2 shot that was chrono checked a few weeks ago, (just under 12lb) the shots were taken well within distance (25-30yrds), do l carry on or have the rifle checked again?
