Hunting for a hare is an interesting and quite affordable activity. The cost of the permit is low, a shotgun is suitable for hunting, the habitat is so wide that the animal can be found in almost any region of Russia.
What fraction to shoot a hare
Even in the Soviet reference books for hunters and in the notes to the cartridges the most suitable number of a fraction for a hare is indicated, but the materials change, the conditions of hunting and the capabilities of weapons change. Each hunter, depending on his experience, develops rules for himself.
According to the reference book, the most effective use of the fraction is from 1 to 4 in the fall and winter on the fox, raccoon dog, capercaillie (young), hare, black grouse, duck of all breeds and sizes.
Many people prefer smaller shots and multiple shotguns to take a hare at a greater distance. The hunters who hammer cartridges themselves use various tricks to increase the accuracy of the shot. The most famous method is a polyethylene sleeve with a concentrator and coarse shot (not smaller than No. 2), sprinkled with starch. However, ruthless statistics say that from a distance of more than 55 m, either wounded or missed.
Hare hunting at different times of the year
The opinion that hares are not hard to wound has many followers. But even a hare, not fully dressed in a winter coat, with a pellet in the heart can run a few tens of meters, until the heart breaks. This is better left alone, and then follow the blood trail.
In autumn, hunters prefer the top three for the hare, the average option for the range of combat and penetration. In winter, opinions differ radically; they are used from one to five. Fraction on hare No. 1 and No. 2 produces a dubious effect, not all pellets will reach, and two or three animals will be able to carry away within themselves.
12th or 16th caliber
In fact, this is not so important. Whatever the time of the hunt, no matter what kind of shot for the hare you are more familiar with, shots from 15-25 m from the halfway or cylinder will be effective. Chock is a certain design of the barrel of a gun. It narrows or expands along its length to reduce or increase the spread of the fraction. It is not possible to determine initially what effect this or that trunk will give. It is necessary to check the weapons at the stand.
A hare - an animal is very fast and shugan, young animals can still be caught almost point blank, but adults almost never come across this. Semiautomatic devices will not give particularly advantages, rarely more than two shots can be made. Enough shotgun, the second charge will finish off the wounded. But a fraction on a hare is not even half the success
Hare shooting technique
A correctly selected fraction number for a hare will not provide a result. You can have excellent eyesight and the most expensive gun, but regularly smear on the hunt. Hunters write off their misses on weapons, on the shooting conditions and only in the last turn think about their technique. But following a few simple rules will greatly simplify the hunting process, and the fraction for the hare is the last in this list.
- How comfortable the gun is in the hands.
- Which eye is the main, right or left.
- It is necessary to shoot the gun in order to know the power of recoil and use corrections for the sight.
- The weight of the gun and its dimensions should correspond to the complexion of the hunter.
No matter how quickly the fraction flies at the hare, remember that during this short period of time it will have time to shift by 1-1.5 m. Shooting is ahead of schedule. If the hare runs to the hunter, then the shot is fired at the animal’s legs, if your side is facing up, then the sight is slightly in front of the head. When the hare leaves, the shot is fired on the ears, between the so-called slingshot or Roman numeral V.
What fraction to shoot the hare, in the end, you decide. In winter, they even use nulevka for a brown. But while there is no experience and not enough own observations to draw a conclusion, use a small fraction on a hare. Small and beats further and is quite capable of breaking through the skin of an eared, 5-6 pellets stop both the bird and small game. The smaller the fraction, the more true the success, especially if you do not have a hunting dog, the likelihood of wounded animals is high. The hunting dog greatly diversifies the hunting process, because he will see and learn what is inaccessible to humans. If you still don’t have such a true friend, think about it. Do not ruin the game just like that. After all, even a wounded hare can climb into the weeds so that without a dog it will be impossible to find him.
