How to Hunt Rabbits With an Air Rifle
Hunting rabbits with an air rifle is a fun and challenging way to practice hunting and sharpen your air shooting skills. Before you get started, make sure that air rifles are legal in your location, and that you understand the rules and regulations in your area.
Steps
- Select and properly sight-in your air rifle. You will want to select an air rifle and ammo that is appropriate for the size of rabbits you will be hunting. Make sure the scope is properly sighted-in for your gun, and if you are using a new rifle, take it to the range to sight it in first.
- Choose the best place to hunt. Rabbits usually stick close to cover, so search for areas of bushy vegetation and tall grasses to look for your prey.
- Scan for rabbits. Look for movement and listen carefully, as rabbits will usually stick still if they sense they’ve been seen.
- Fire the rifle accurately and swiftly. Time is essential when hunting rabbits because the animal can easily hop away before you have the chance to take a follow-up shot. Take your time to steady your aim, and be prepared to shoot quickly when the animal comes into focus.
- Dress appropriately for the weather and terrain. If you’ll be hunting in cold weather, make sure to layer your clothing and wear waterproof boots. Bring along a backpack with supplies like bug spray, a first-aid kit, and refreshments.
- Take the necessary safety precautions. Be sure to always wear protective eyewear when shooting an air rifle, and be aware of your surroundings< />. Don’t shoot at a target unless you know you have a clear view of what’s beyond and that the projectile will not harm anyone. After firing, you should take a few moments to make sure you have a safe place to enter and leave the area.
