I wouldn't use that to put down a rabbit at point blank. Your slingshot has more power.

USE A GUN

Guns are to easy. With guns you just pick the Rabbit off at 70 yards. With a cheap fiberglass bow and Carbon arrows with broadheads, try hitting them at 20 feet without spooking them. Oh and the arrows travel only about 95 MPH (with my new pinch-and-release) so it would be harder and the Rabbits could dodge the arrow. I say that is skill, not taking the lazy way out and nailing game at long range with some rifle. Im not saying anything bad about rifle hunters, it's just bowhunters like the old ways, the traditional ways that have been around longer than weapons of today. Much harder and you don't have to buy ammumition for it over and over again. It's a challenge, a game. I admit with a rifle it's easier and quicker with hunting but step back and try getting that Rabbit with a bow and arrow, much more fun and oh so qiuet.

I dont know how yall hunt rabbit, but its different than I do. Me and my cousin use 6 beagles... our season starts in november and ends in march. We get to the hunting spot before the sun comes over the trees. The dogs need moisture to smell the rabbit (the dew on the ground). Rabbit are primarily nocturnal; the dogs can smell where the rabbit was that night. The dog will trail the rabbit, jump the rabbit, and then you kill the rabbit as you intercept it. If you miss the first time, just stay there. A rabbit ALWAYS makes a complete circle and comes back around.
