Thread: Rules around shooting on a lifestyle block

I totally understand the risks with .22LR subs. Big problem for me as we become increasingly hemmed in by new lifestyle properties. (And we have an explosion in rabbit numbers.)

What puzzles me is how much “safer” a PCP air rifle really is in this environment. I get that there’s a decent muzzle energy difference between a .22LR and say a .25 cal 28gr / 850 ft./sec PCP, but what is that pellet gonna do?

I have zero experience with PCP, so I’m curious to hear about ricochet risks from those that use PCP rifles a lot in relatively constrained areas. I was watching a YT video last night of a guy using PCP on rabbits close to roads / houses, he seemed to think it was the “safe” option.

Also, what is the real effective range on small game?
