Shotgun

IIRC my 12 ga BPS has a 26" Modified (before SG's came with removable chokes) Great
gun for me. Spreader wads helped with on closer small game.

"patterning board" = best thing to do !!

Is there anything left after you land the shot? Or are you just pre shredding for jerky anyways?

Whatever you are the best with---really the rabbit DOSE NOT care or know the difference---

I don't know if I've ever killed a rabbit with anything besides my single shot marlin 22 or my 410 wingmaster, but they've taken dozens with each. I haven't seen a rabbit in forever since the hogs started showing up. Never used dogs though either.

I don't generally use the shotguns on anything I want to eat unless it flies.

They all work fine. It's the person using it that will make the difference if you hit them and/or how bad you ruin the meat.

Also, If you ever get into shooting birds, dont believe ANY of the propaganda from shell and choke manufacturers.

Given that I would never argue with a Dust Off Pilot, as they are the very best, my Dad's 16 gauge single shot took many Iowa rabbits. Kicked like hell, but it means a lot to me.
