Bunny Just Won't Die.

Hi all I am looking for sum help I have been using an air rifle to shoot rabbits but the buggers just seem to hop or dart away. I'm sure I'm hitting them cos I am quite consistant when shooting milk bottles in my garden I usually hit them half the time from 30feet . Advice welcome.

Did you put any pellets in the gun

[pie-eater 377]

Im assuming this is a joke but Ill answer just in case.. You need to hit the rabbits brain.

Rear left foot, just above the outside toe!

is this a serious post?.....

 

if you cant hit a milk bottle that's not moving.. how can you hope to hit a rabbit?

 

i suggest you stick to the milk bottles and leave the wildlife alone

My my mate Dave reckons its the gun he thinks the barrels bent. Tried shooting to the left and right of the bunnies just in case he was correct. Still didn't kill owt.

Generally its placed near the tail, hence the saying "is your brain in your arse?"

I see you're in Yorkshire? Me too.

 

Quite a few of the rabbits on a couple of my permissions have been getting wise and are now wearing full body armour and kevlar helmets.

 

Try using AP rounds or high explosive pellets. They work for me.

Stick your self a proper target up and practice un till you can put near on pellet on pellet in a five pence size group then when your conferdent enought shoot rabbits do not until you can or you will just corse pain to the pray you are shooting

[rabbitcatcher 1 287]

You've got about the size of a 2p piece to hit between the back of the rabbits eye and the base of its ears, you should maybe try shooting bottle tops instead of the whole bottle, until you can hit a bottle top every time at 30 yards

Then you might stand a chance in dropping them
