Yes, but make sure they can throw a serious chunk of lead or steel hard enough to penetrate both sides of a steel can from the distance you plan on hunting.

Good luck, let us know how it goes and what you end up using and most importantly what your serving rabbit diiner.

I would agree with this, but larger ammo wont require penetration of the can just a massive dent I.e. a marble or stone

Basically the smaller the ammo size the more penetration you want because that's what's going to be doing the killing : precision hits on vital organs - not blunt force trauma and hydrostatic shock

You have received some excellent advice. I sometimes double my tubes, like when I’m trying

 

[Henry the Hermit]

Tubes can take out anything flats can.

What did the wabbit ever do to you?

Seriously though I use tubes like 99% of the time. I have never felt the lack of power compared to flat bands.

In fact, see this thread (have a look at the firing test):

And these were just the crappy tubes that come with the pouch.

Seconded, double 1640s and industrial plumbing laytex tubing will get the job done. But you are going to put in some work pulling those back.

That's why ppl go with flats little easier to pull back and ample power.

Yes. The tubes are capable to hunt. The next main question I guess is,"Are you skilled to make that quick and humane shot?" The usual criteria is a bottle cap at 10 meters and at least 6 of 10 I think.

Beware of eating the summer time rabbit. If the liver is white you have to toss it. Most rabbits right now have a mess of babies.

Thank you Ibojoe for sharing the white liver fact. I heard that as a youngster.

Looped 1745 or Orange dub dub and .44 lead will do the job. If your strong enough the 2050 looped and .50cal lead

 

[AUSSIE4]

Definitely when paired with some big steel or lead.
