Bunny Bustin (pictures)

[macka]

Well after working today I thought I would take my new video camera down the creek and try and bust some bunnies. We had just had under 30 mil of rain so I thought the bunnies would be out. CouldnÃ*t believe it Rabbits everywhere only small but still good fun.
This bunny got shot through the chest but still managed to get too far down the hole (with my arrow) I set the camera up on him and stalked in a little closer the arrow is in flight just to the right of him. The shot was taken at 25m.

I gave this rabbit a shave from 50m i hunt this place a lot and i have marked out distances from the holes so i know how far. the second pic shows him having a look at what scared him sniffing the arrow.

Great pics Macka lucky to be able to hunt close to home :D

[takleberry]

Macka instead of judo points

have you tried field points drilled with a roll pin through them

Tac

[macka]

Hey sounds good whats a roll pin though?

Macka

[Bowmancam]

cotter pin .... like a nail split in 2 down its length to its base, when you poke it through a hole you seperate the "pin" and roll the lengths back to fix it into place.



I think thats the one.
Great photos mate, well done.

Cheers, Cam

It's not a cotter pin, i just cant think of their name ... and its ****ting me...

Hey sounds good whats a roll pin though?

Macka


As Cam said but you don't need to "roll" the ends if the hole is the right size

Split Dowel or Roll Pin
It's a slightly tapered pin that is split logitudinally, as it's tapped into the hole it the gap adjusts to remain a tight fit in the hole :)

Good stuff Macka

I have managed to score a bunny and fox property 20min from home today as well so will be heading out to check it out in the next few days. :D Gotta love friends that are helping me to locate more properties to hunt. Another mate is looking to get me access to a goat propert a couple of hours from home :D

[macka]

Hey good going there Hood just remember that that offer will always stand if ya wanna travel 3 hours this way :wink: Hope ya get onto that goat pleace mate.

hey macka, another idea is buy a pack of washers that fits snugly around you field point thread, and is wide enough that it sticks out about 5mm around the shaft. ive shot a few bunnies with these and they didn't move a muscle.

[macka]

Hey thanx cam and axe will give that a try :D Hey humph i have tried that idea but out of my bowtech they seem to whistle and for distances like 50m the rabbits are not there when the arrow hits lol. Axe it was your bunny bustin pic that reminded me that i have some bunnies 5 mins from here so thanx for that :wink:
