If your shooting a shotgun set up as a "Game" gun, then raise the gun up through the Rabbit, blank it out and fire.

I usually go for ears.

Either back of the head or shoot up the side and try and get some lead on the front end.

dont aim shotguns! just stare at it and your brain will work it all out for you, you cant aim shotguns because then you would constantly be looking from the beads to the target, and you wouldnt get a decent look at either. you look at the point on the rabbit that you want to hit, go for the head/chest area. also aiming a shotgun takes a lot more time than just looking and shooting, that means the rabbits run further and become harder targets.

Just point, pull and remember to follow through you will get the hang of it

id say pull trough from tail to tips of ears keep the gun moving till you see target drop as these kind of shots it is all too easy to stop the gun with out split second realising it

Shotguns point in different directions as has been noted by SS.....a DTL gun shoots different to a Game Gun, which it turn has dramatic differences to a skeet gun, etc...we need to establish exactly the sort of gun used, chokes fitted or cut, distances etc before any sensible statement can be made as to where to aim

 

Perhaps the simple answer is "spend some time on a Pattern Plate"

Basicaly practise mate, every time u go for a rabbit it will be a different shot same with pigeon, pheasant or crow. Through time and the more shots u fire the more u will automaticaly aim, fire and your shot will be perfect doen it goes. Some people it comes naturaly and others have been practising for years. Dont eat youself up about misses and just think what u done wrong and half the time anyway, u will know yourself. all the best BILLY

Cover the bunny with the muzzle, and it will be bang on. Anything over 20 yards and you can't "Aim" at any particular part of a target that size... The shot pattern will cover the entire animal!

when i had this problem i found it very useful to remember "swing dont poke" just got to remember to follow through mate

aim a rifle...........point a shot gun !!!!!!!!

 

as pointed out by SS and Deker...........more info is needed.

 

i would suggest visiting your local clay shooting ground.......better for practice than live quarry !!!
