pcp

   I use pcp for rabbits, and in some situations they suit for a few reasons. Where I go, there are horses, and so being so quiet the horses don't get spooked, and at 30 ft/lb they are a third of the power of a rimfire, so ricochettes aren't such a threat. I have shot a bunny at 110 m, but only once, but I am happy going out to 60/70 m on still days. 
Yes pcp set up is more expensive, but ammo is cheap at 6 cents a shot. They are one way of doing it, and I think you're wise figuring out if you want to go down that track.

	Hello , I have just obtained my FAL after years of hunting rabbits with my air rifles. I was wondering how many people , when this happens go to pcp or do they ditch the air rifles completely and move to .22 or 308's. I am thinking of a pcp but why bother when you can basically get a 22 for half the price , I guess it depends on how you are going to use it or what you want too do. Basically im asking are PCP's the ducks nutts or a waste of time' Cheers
	As long as there is lead in the air...there is hope.
