Smile A dog helps a lot!

Before I owned a gun, I was allowed to bow hunt. A re-curve made of fiberglass. Probably can't buy one now. The beagle and I one day got 22 in a Xmas tree farm.
The rabbit will hear the dog bay and mine worked slow which is what you want. The rabbit would get ahead of the dog and stop and look back into the trees to see if he could see the dog. Shoot now. If the rabbit doesn't stop whistle and sometimes that works.
The cautions about losing bolts/arrows is true. You may spend most of the day looking for arrows. The arrows do not kill like a head shot with a 22. But that's what the dog is for.
Let us know how you do.
