2 for 2 with the flu flu
I got a couple flu flu's this weekend. Got two rabbits so far. I don't know how accurate they are but I haven't missed so far. They sure are fun to shot and not much of a chance on lossing them. The first rabbit I shot the arrow went through just the top of his skin on his back. I had on a judo point as well so the arrow only went half way through before snagging the ground and stopping.The rabbitran in circles for 10 seconds before getting stuck in a bush. I don't like the taste of rabbit and because he was plentyalive yet, I just unscrewed the judo point and he slide right off the arrow. The second one didn't live. He was given tothe farm cats. 10 kittensand twomother cats got a good feast. Need to keep those catsgood and strong to keep the rat population down. Wish I had my guardian last year when we had so many rabbits that they were killing the trees. We ended up shooting over 200 of them easy, but between the rabbits and the bugs, we still lost about50 ofthe small trees.
I was thinking of getting some Snaro points. Anyone ever try them out? They look like alot of fun. Might work good on goffers and prairie dogs that are just peeking their heads out of the hole.

So, stop me if i am reading this wrong. But- it sounds like you just said you shot a rabbit, didn't make a good shot and just pulled the arrow out and left it run away??

Why are you using Flu-Flu's for rabits? They are pretty much made for arial shooting.

RE: 2 for 2 with the flu flu

I am no vet and didn't look under it's skin, but it probably did do a little damage to some tissue above the spine. It sure didn't seem to bother the rabbit when he ran away at full speed.
If I would have know I would be getting accussed of being inhuman and a law breaker I wouldn't have posted this thread. For god sakes, I stop and pick up turtles on the road and put them in the ditch so they don't get hit.
