Avoid bouncing bunnies
The sport of rabbit shooting clays is all about avoiding bouncing bunnies. Bouncing rabbits is a more difficult task to shoot but can be used to your advantage.

You can easily avoid shooting bouncey bunnies by simply adjusting the gun's movement.

This size will produce breaks in the target that are visible, yet it won't dust the target.
Breaking the Target
Focus and concentration are key to breaking through rabbit clay targets. It is important to be familiar with several techniques such as the gun mount and swing, as well your stance. During the shoot, you are also in a war of wits with the target setter. Here are some tips to break a target:

How to hunt wild hogs
Wild hogs, which are large, can be found in North America and Asia as well as Europe. Wild hogs feed on vegetation and small animals such a rabbits or mice, birds, insects, and fish. They usually feed at night. The gestation period lasts around six months, after which one piglet is born. A sow gives birth every two years. Wild hogs are solitary animals, although they sometimes live together in groups called herds.
The average weight of a wild boar is 200 pounds (90 kg). Their head length is approximately 10 to 12 inches (30-25 cm), and their bodies range from 20 to 30 in (50-75cm). Wild pigs have short tails, long legs and broad shoulders. They have a thick fat layer beneath their skin.
They have excellent senses of smell and hearing. These senses allow them to spot danger and locate food. They can run upto 35 miles an hour (56 km/h), and can jump up to 15 feet (4m) in a single bound. They are very sharp with their teeth and claws. They can be aggressive in defending themselves from predators.
Hunting wild hogs is difficult due to their intelligence, speed, and elusive nature. They must be carefully tracked by hunters. If hunters shoot too early, the animal may escape. Hunters who shoot too soon can kill the animal before it reaches cover.
There are many ways to hunt wild hogs. The most common method of killing wild hogs is to shoot. This requires hunters to locate the animal and wait for it to arrive in range. Another method is trapping. Trapping is the practice of placing traps in areas where the hogs are likely to drink. Some traps contain a smell lure, such a corn meal with peanut butter. Once the trap is released, the hunter will shoot the trapped pig.
Another method is snaring. Snaring uses a noose made out of rope to catch the pig. It works best when the pigs are caught during their mating season.
Other methods include spearing, netting, and poisoning. To stop the pig from breathing, netting or spearing is a method of placing a net on its neck. Poisoning involves injecting poison into the pig's body.
Hunters who want to hunt wild hogs must be ready for cold temperatures. To stay warm in some areas, hunters can wear snowshoes. Hunting dogs can help hunters track their animals.
