Two rabbits with one Eley sub last night. First time that's ever happened in 30 years of owning the rifle .

Once stalked a pigeon hanging on old sprouts on a freezing misty day .I c ould just make it out in the gloom and shot it . When I picked it up there were three others behind it in a neat row . Not very sporting but I was only using a single barrel. 410. The same .410 once got me two mallard in flight as they came off a farm pond.

My brother in law killed 2 rabbits with one pellet, the gun was a Air Arms TX200 .177 calibre. The rabbits

were not lined up. The first was shot in the head and the pellet obviously came out at an angle and killed the

second rabbit. Luckily for him he had a witness.

I once shot a flying goose with a .410, as i went over the hedge i had to cross a small river, when i got out the other side i emptied my wellies of water and two brown trout fell out, i couldnt believe my luck... i then walked over to the goose and when i picked it up it had i found a dead Hare, the goose must have fallen on and killed...... now thats what i call cost effective shooting.......

Either that or too many magic mushrooms.

This topic is not about showing off, but is because I am curious to find out how common it is for a single shot to result in more than one kill.

 

In a recent rabbit shoot, as I took aim for a head shot while the rabbit was standing, another rabbit behind it started to raise its head. It ended up directly behind the first about 50cm further back. I squeezed the trigger and heard thack....thack and the two rabbits fell.

 

I was using hollow point subsonic .22 (Winchester X) as I had a few to use up. Normally I use Eley Subs, which in testing were found to expand more and penetrate less than the Eley. It is possible the Eley may not have given this double, instead slowing down more when it hit the first rabbit?

 

With a shotgun, due to the large number of pellets, I would expect it is far more frequent for multiple kills to occur, though hopefully not due to someone shooting 'into the brown' where it is much more likely to get woundings.

 

Has anyone else had any multiple kills from a single shot, and if so please let me know what it was and what gun/calibre it was?

 

 

Very similar to you but the rabbit behind got it in the chest/heart, as the front one done a flip with a head shot i noticed the one behind kicking about so ran over to finish it off. That was with 22 air rifle at about 20 yards, i did'nt try for 2 with 1 shot but as they were about 5 sitting quite close together the second one was in the wrong place at the wong time.
