    Buy an air rifle (.22 or .177) with a little under 12pcf (pounds per cubic foot) (12lbs is the legal limit before a license is needed in the UK). [1]

    Many decent ones can be printed off the internet, either a standard ringed target or a rabbit picture.
  5. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/3\/36\/Hunt-Rabbits-With-an-Air-Rifle-Step-5.jpg\/v4-460px-Hunt-Rabbits-With-an-Air-Rifle-Step-5.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/3\/36\/Hunt-Rabbits-With-an-Air-Rifle-Step-5.jpg\/aid382317-v4-728px-Hunt-Rabbits-With-an-Air-Rifle-Step-5.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    Now make sure you are more than 50 feet (15.2 m) away from the centre of a road or public area (closer is illegal - UK) and put your pillows down 30 yards (27.4 m) from your target.

    DO NOT hold the gun tight if you are using a rest or if standing, simply support the rifle wait on your forward hand and keep loose. Allow your shoulder to move and the full recoil movement is complete. Holding tight can mean you're not always on target.
  9. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/a\/a1\/Hunt-Rabbits-With-an-Air-Rifle-Step-9.jpg\/v4-460px-Hunt-Rabbits-With-an-Air-Rifle-Step-9.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/a\/a1\/Hunt-Rabbits-With-an-Air-Rifle-Step-9.jpg\/aid382317-v4-728px-Hunt-Rabbits-With-an-Air-Rifle-Step-9.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    Halfway through, stop and hold for 2 seconds and slowly pull the trigger. Count to 5 before moving the gun away. [3]
  10. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/d\/d1\/Hunt-Rabbits-With-an-Air-Rifle-Step-10.jpg\/v4-460px-Hunt-Rabbits-With-an-Air-Rifle-Step-10.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/d\/d1\/Hunt-Rabbits-With-an-Air-Rifle-Step-10.jpg\/aid382317-v4-728px-Hunt-Rabbits-With-an-Air-Rifle-Step-10.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    Keep moving the sights until you can successfully hit the point of aim 5 out of 5 times. Or until you can put 5 shots in the space of a 5 pence piece (about 10mm, half-inch, diameter)
  11. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/3\/3d\/Hunt-Rabbits-With-an-Air-Rifle-Step-11.jpg\/v4-460px-Hunt-Rabbits-With-an-Air-Rifle-Step-11.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/3\/3d\/Hunt-Rabbits-With-an-Air-Rifle-Step-11.jpg\/aid382317-v4-728px-Hunt-Rabbits-With-an-Air-Rifle-Step-11.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    Don't rush out and wound a creature. The purpose is to humanely kill it for food, not to torture it to death.

    Get on some warm clothes and maybe a thermos flask of tea or coffee and go lie down about 20–30 yards (18.3–27.4 m) from the target rabbit hole.

    Aim behind the eye just in front of the base of the ears, NOT THE BODY as this is more likely to wound the rabbit, causing it a lot of unnecessary pain. If going for a headshot, ensure that you aim for the space between the rabbit's eye and the base of its ear as this is the weakest part of the skull and will ensure a kill shot. [4]

    Now wait for a minute, then, hold the rabbit in both hands for 5 seconds and if you feel any movement fire point-blank into the brain (mind your foot! ), or if you have the nerve, hold it upside down by its rear legs and break its neck by a swift chop to the base of the skull. This requires a slight amount of force but ensures instant death by snapping the neck.

    Remember to properly skin and clean it before eating.

  • 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.

      Tips

      • A good quality trusted dome-headed pellet is the usual choice for rabbiting. Hollow-point pellets, flat and pointed-head pellets are less accurate in flight. Zero with the exact same setup as you will use hunting. [5]
        Thanks
      • Most gun stores have special hunting ammo for both .177 and .22.
        Thanks
      • Follow the guidelines and make sure that you have zeroed in your gun!
        Thanks

      Warnings

      • Always go for a kill shot. If you wound an animal, make sure you ease its suffering as soon as possible.
        Thanks
      • Make sure you don't shoot other animals or people!
        Thanks
      • Always ensure that you inform the local landowner of where you will be hunting.
        Thanks
      • Only shoot a rabbit if you are planning to eat it. Killing for sport or pelts is cruel, and there are many humane alternatives to such activities.
        Thanks
