Here is one that Jerry Ross (of Ambush Bow Contest fame) shot on our recent rabbit hunt.  Rabbit came running by and he said he just looked him in the eye as he ran by and drilled it.
 

There are few things that are more fun, more frustrating, and yet so rewarding when you finally connect than rabbit hunting with a bow. dino

Swing through like Shawn said, release that arrow and then hope and pray....  :bigsmyl:

someone should post a picture of Mark's "bunny thrower" here. If you want to get good, this thing will definitely help. Of course there's a big difference between a target bouncing in one direction and a real rabbit that can see the arrow coming and evade.....   :banghead:

Huh, the older I get the farther I have to swing past them. Must be old age reflexes. I'm becoming quite proficient at hitting there tail ends as they go by.

Shoot and then pray or is that pray and then shoot? Either way its lots of fun. I actually prefer to shoot them when they think they are well hidden and sitting still.
