Shot size for hunting hare
Seasoned hunters often argue about the number of shot for hunting hare. After reviewing the material online, you will be able to find several book recommendations and a lot of contrary instructions from experienced hunters.
It is believed that the fraction for hunting hare, hence the late autumn and winter from No. 4 to No. 1, and spring will suit No. 7.
Still, the success of a hunt depends on your accuracy, shooting skills on live targets, the distance from which the shot is made, your response, the quality of the cartridges and their compliance with the game and used the gun.
Useful:
Considered necessary, if the rabbit is on you, shoot him in the leg, if it moves sideways, aim him in the head, and while trying to escape from you, it is recommended to aim a little forward of the head game.
From the exchange of experience of seasoned hunters can distinguish that from a small shot (No. 7, 8) the hare falls immediately, and from the large cartridge a possible wounded animal. For example, a hare can shoot buckshot No. 4 with 40-45 meters stolen gunpowder Sokol of the TOZ-34. And hare of the IZH-43 with gunpowder “sunar” and in fraction No. 6 25-30 meters or using cartridges “feather river BIOR” № 8 from a distance of 18-24 feet. Shotgun Pieper-Bayard 24 gauge successful hunting of the hare from a distance of up to 35 meters with fraction number 7, summer number 9.
Therefore, the best advice in choosing the value of the fraction, after all, a deep knowledge of materiel and personal experience.
