Question

How far does an air rifle shoot?

Christopher Jett

Community Answer

The effective range of this caliber is around 45-50 yards, depending on the pellet. However, you can get within 50 yards of most varmint, so range should not be an issue.

Question

What will happen if I don't humanely kill the rabbits?

Community Answer

Nothing in particular, but the animal will suffer, and it is considered morally wrong to allow an animal to suffer if it can be avoided.

Is it possible to kill a rabbit over 50 meters away with an air rifle?

Community Answer

Yes, but you need to have a legendary shot because most air rifles are only effective to 50 yards.
