I don't mean actually shoot one, that's illegal, but have you tested your accuracy at a rabbit sized target and then stalked to within your effective range ? It's not as easy as you think, especially in open country, and in winter you are unlikely to even see one in daylight - can you fire your crossbow and hold a lamp ?

All in all, for rabbits, an air rifle is a much better idea.

I have to agree with this in a big way.!!
Thanks again to all you guys who have actually hunted, your advice is well received. Be nice though if anyone had any info on how to make the arrows.When I say this I mean making them as if we were in a post catastrophic sit. Maybe whats the best wood, or other material to look for, various tip ideas etc.




if your up a tree or stand you can get away with a bit of noise and movement and one or two misses,the connies are not that interested what happens up in the air
