I didn't see one rabbit shooting with an air rifle. I'm sure they couldn't reach the trigger anyway.

To anyone who says this is cruel, If you see a rabbit digging holes in a paddock, and a beautiful horse having to be put down (shot in the head) because it stepped in the rabbit hole and broke a leg, which is the most cruel? Rabbits are cute, but a menace and must be controlled, plus they make excellent eating.

Anyone who shoots and cares about the quarry enough to do the job as quickly and painlessly as possible will take a headshot every time. Instant oblivion is far preferable to a body shot where the rabbit can run into cover or its warren to die slowly.

I shoot rabbits with an air rifle so I understand how to do it and I agree with almost everything in this video, the only bit I can't get on board with is the chest shot. For me, it's a head shot or no shot, a chest shot doesn't gauruntee an quick, humane kill, I was brought up to respect my quarry and that in my opinion is unnessecary suffering. If that bag is one or two smaller for the day, that's a price worth paying for consistently quick kills

totally on board with all parties here.... hence my question to Simon. The point you make about the dumping of energy from a 24ftlb .22 is the heart of my question. normally id be concerned with "body shots". saw a professional adviser to basc and gamekeepers advocation the .22 airgun as suitable for foxes!!!!....thats about as far as my flexibillity goes.

King Yeetus shit bumping

Out lamping the other day and the land owner assured me that her donkeys/horses would be put away. I turn up, the horses are gone (I thought), see the first rabbit (mixxy one out in the middle of the first paddock) put the lamp on it and pull the trigger. The zero must have been knocked in the back of the car because I put the shot off to one side hitting the rabbit quite far back. A donkey (coming from a position where I couldn't originally see it) ran up to the rabbit and John Ceena'd it, no joke. Trampled on it, picked it up in it's mouth and shook it about, dropped it, sat on it, squeezing its legs together to crush it… it went full on bonkers! I have never seen anything like it. The rabbit was screaming like mad! When the donkey finally let it go and it was long dead by this point, i went to inspect what was left of it, being careful not to receive the same treatment, and threw it into the hedge for the foxes. I have no clue what happened, maybe the rabbit was making a noise I couldn't hear but the Donkey could and triggered it into beast mode. It was like Chuck Norris v Kermit the frog. I cannot think of any situation in which a greater battering to any object could occur.

I would presume he has the board say with one long horizontal line and say 5 vertical lines along the board , on level ground in snipe position horizontal to the board starting left to right and move back in measured increments , 20,30,40,50,60 yards you need to learn elevation as it massively matters in air rifle hunting , so have 6 long horizontal lines with 5 vertical ones . Place the board at 6ft plus your horizontal (shooting into something like a hill ) do your distance, then next horizontal line do it at + 3ft , next at + 1ft ,next at true horizontal, then go down in - elevation , build a mind graph of your rda ( round drop arch) with elevations ,

Hi, I have a big question, if I have a 7.62 caliber weapon (30) can I shoot with a smaller caliber? such as being 6.35 (25) or even 4.5 (177) (exchange and storage with the appropriate pellets). I do not know if it stains a weapon to not break it.

My girlfriend shot a rabbit at 76yds with my sub 12ft/ib wather rotex in 22, conditons were ideal and Mr bunny died of a headshot. If you know what you are doing with the right conditions a sub 12 gun is perfectly capable of dispatching rabbits at that range, trouble is idiots can legallly buy airguns with no training

Nicely produced video, hopefully the bunnies end up in a pot somewhere. I guess, FAC power means heart shots are always on, but for 12ft/lb it's head shots only, or can Rabbets be taken with heart shots @ sub 12ft/lb?

That’s really good shooting with a air rifle 👍

Sir I have a question, where can I use my gun, if I went just outside the town I live would that be ok to go shooting (NORTH WEST ENGLAND)

FX is a nice platform to start from ,he set a standard in precision, wash( wd40 bath then dry off ) pellets checking damage removing any lose swarf .scrimp your rifle as it's sharp line moving is very noticeable to quarry , keep up field skills like stalking ,distances plus elevations, the latter really matters as much as distance , build a RDA ( round drop arch) in your mind so you know a shot at 20 yards with 3ft elevation is that on the reticle, same as you know 60 yards with minus 4ft is that on the reticle, practice ,practice, practice , aim for clean kill first shot every shot , people who hunt know when the shot is clean and clear pulling the trigger when they have the skill set to make it clean kill. Only losers make unethical shots out of there skill level that will mame the quarry .animal rights would have a field day at anyone who mame animals and rightly so ,they ain't against culling so long as it's not an idiot pulling the trigger maming the animal .look at foot and mouth incident when animal rights said we agree to culling but don't agree to this - showed a vet with a shotgun running after sheep scaring them and not making clean kills first shot .practice long range as if you've got an accurate rifle and decent supressor you can cull at a distance and the rest of them are unaware your taking them out one after another .always be mindful not to just waste culled quarry , they a lot of people who will take them off your hands , like ferret keepers and even likes of zoo's if you are like me you only hit headshots so all the lead if any will be only in the head which can be disposed off . Hunt to pest control knowing the land owner knows your doing him a great favour and to the people who are greatfull to get the quarry

I77 have a natural flatter trajectory than a 22 ,so if your accurate then you can shoot a little further with less RDA , work out your f/lb an it's OK for 12 f/lb to kill upto 50/60 yards if you have the skill to make clean kills everytime

Great bit of shooting. I also have done plenty of hunting with air rifles over the years. Quite. Cleen and effective. I do go for a head shots myself. I find a heart shot from a distance is a bit more difficult. I don't think I've ever hit a rabbit pigeon. Squirrel or anything in the head and seen it escape. But that's just my opinion and experience. Anyway thanks for sharing your video. And I'm glad you didn't call everything you shot a HE /. HIM. Like on most pest control videos. Lol. I subscribed. 👍

with a 7.5 J air rifle you should only hunt for smaller birds because you can kill them quickly but for bigger preys like rabbits i recommend upgradeing your rifle or buying a new one ... all in all if you shoot a rabbit in the head with your rifle there is a chanche it reches the brain and killes it but if not it will die slowly and painfully

You can order the rifle online or you could try to find it in a local airgun or sporting goods store. To change the gas you will have to either manually pump it up with a special hand pump or buy a scuba tank to fill the rifle up but keep in mind that you will have to refill the scuba tank itself, which you can do at a local diving shop

I stopped the video at 4:52 and it seems that the skirts on the pellets he is putting into the magazine are bent. Other pellets in the tin also look like they have bent skirts. I would toss those pellets into the garbage.
