Hi guys,

Just wondering if you have any tips for me regarding .22 bsa ultra rabbit hunting as I've only ever really used a .177 to hunt.

Practise on the range 1st to get used to holdover etc before shooting at live quarry

Before you go near anything alive with the rifle, set up a sequence of targets at different ranges, 5-metres out to 50 metres, or only where you honestly feel your max hunting range might be; and practice, practice, practice till you can hit the lot with the rifle's trajectory without a moment to think about where your shot will fall.

 

Then you will know exactly what you have to hunt with, as you must at all times

As above

 

In short, (and without taking offence) learn to shoot at ranges

The .177 has a flatter trajectory as you know (or you would not be asking for guidance).

 

Practise Practice and practice, then practice some more, then much more, and between hunts, yep you got it, practice

 

Eventually it will become second nature to you
