steviebhoy 0 Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 Im not having a go at peoples sport but I cant see the sport in shooting rabbits and foxs at night. In my eyes its just pulling a trigga and its dead. Please let me know the skill in it. Sounds llike you should join a rifle club then and enter yourself in some comps. Let us know how your 100% record on targets comes along. Quote Link to post

Please let me know the skill in it. well if you shoot air rifles, first you have to be a good shot and you have to practise and second you have to stalk the rabbits to get into range Quote Link to post
lancer 13 Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 because 99.9 prcent of people running round at night shooting dont have a clue whats behind the annimal there shooting at;and shooting down the beam of light dosent give you a wide enough field of vision to make it safe.i bet your one of the safe ones though.
