Hunting, tips

[Sarmatian]

Decided I needed to do something with my life so I'm going to kill things that are smaller than me. Rabbits sounds good. I got a recurve bow but would get hurt, last time I made a shot with it the string slapped my wrist and it hurt really bad. So air-rifles it is. Where do you shoot them, I want them dead before they feel it. At what time can you shoot them, and more general tips like don't aim at cops. Noob advice please.

Laws are different from country to country, you should check your own laws when it comes to rabbits. Rabbits and other smaller animals are usually hunted with shotguns. They're small, quick and agile it's not easy to hit them and they're fragile enough to be killed instantly with shotguns. If you want to hunt bigger game, like boars Horetore mentioned, don't use shotguns.

You wanna go with someone more experienced first few times. If you don't know anything about rabbits or hunting and want to use air rifle, in all likelyhood you'll only catch a cold.

Why? Rabbits are basicly everwhere. I am a really poor shot with a bow, I don't have the fortitude to keep my bow focused, will hit target on 20 or 30 meters but no more. A bow is incredibly deadly in the right hands but I suck at it. Air rifle seems very convenient, but does it have enough power, boars are really dangerous
