What is your typical shot distance for small game?

I’ve taken 8 rabbits with my T1x 22 in the last week (2 trips out). All of my shots were between 28 and 118yds. Depends what you’re shooting and how comfortable you are shooting it.

I try to stalk in as close as possible, probably 15-20 yards on average for squirrels with a 22.

Acorns have been nuts in New England this year so sit and get them within 10-15 pretty easily. Patiently sitting at the base of tree they’ll come within 10’ often. In the harder or even standard mast crop years 30-50 yards is pretty common depending on the time of season and foliage cover. I usually try not to push 50. Strictly .22 sub sonics for no reason other than that’s what I prefer to use. Best of luck though! It’s hard to beat squirrel hunting for the average day

The rabbits around my usual spots are pretty skittish because of dogs so most of my shots with the .22 or .17 tend to be out near the 100m mark.
