weekend away shooting

this weekend just gone went down past Cooma for a weekend away of shooting at rabbits,
being the first time i have been since i was 5 and also being the first time i have held and fired a gun in as many years, i can say that it was a bit of a learning experience.
it was great to get away from sydney and and see stars again, the air was clearer we had no toilet, no power and no plumbing,
getting away from society and the bullshit we all put up with for the weekend really made my see how bad sydney is, i couldnt believe the stupid things i keep seeing everywhere since getting back. I put this down to being more alert and therefore noticing more of the things i usually ignore.
there are noticebly less rabbits around these days, we took 6 rabbits in the three days and nights we were there, but on monday night i killed my first rabbit, although i didnt shoot a rabbit all weekend!
just before returning to the shack on monday night, the final night, which i add was at most 0 degrees, we spotted a rabbit in the lights which was easily in range, at that time i was in the cabin of the ute, rifle has two shot, misses, out of ammo, shotgun has two shot and misses, driver yells guns up gets out, i get out at the same time, driver picks up two rocks proceeds to throw the rocks and misses, without taking my eyes off the rabbit i bent down and picked up a rock, one step and pegged the rock at the rabbit taking out both of its rear legs and breaking it back. 
so my first rabbit wasnt exactly skill related when it come to shooting but adreniline based and thanks to my many years of baseball 
i also learnt to play about 8 forms of poker and also lost about $30 
al in all it was great weekend and i spent less money than i usually would have.
anyone else have similar experiences? comments??
thanks
James
