jayrs Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 sorry its prob in the wrong forum but i need a answer fairly quick. friend of ours has bought there rabbit round to me as it aint well and tbh, ive never shoot a rabbit in my life. this rabbit is in a bad way and is riddled with maggots and needs putting down asap and they wont take it to a vet so, what is the quickest way to kill the rabbit? i mean where do i shoot it to kill with the first shot? the gun i got is a .22 stealth and since a full charge ive done about 100 shots so its still gotta have a fair amount in there, even though it wont put a accupell through a 20mm bit of wood point blank but folds the pellet up so i think power wise its going to be ok. please, i know they should take it to the vet but they wont, if i dont sort it now there going to leave the rabbit to die on its own and that is just not fair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeinVA Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Lay the little ****** on its stomach.. place the crown of the barrel against its skull, and lose pellet.. Do this over grass as there will be less chance of the pellet deflecting.. Quick and painless.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

libs Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Hold its back legs in your right hand, place your left thumb under its chin and cup the top of its head in your palm. Pull slowly and firmly until your feel a nice strong clunk! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badger.22cal Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Cant be that urgent its taken you 13 mins on here... 1 2 3 pull ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
libs Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Sounds like its buggerd mate. Just get it over and done with, theres no other choice but the right one here, all a trip to the vets will do is cost you money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungler Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 (edited) If you live near Liverpool chain it to some railings, it will be gone by the time you turn your back. Or 60 seconds in the microwave? EDIT: If you have been on here for 15 mins then you could try gas mark 8 and go for the long game Edited May 28, 2009 by Mungler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supersonic Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Hold its back legs in your right hand, place your left thumb under its chin and cup the top of its head in your palm. Pull slowly and firmly until your feel a nice strong clunk! Then do the same to the owner for letting it get in that state. N Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
