rabbit stick

No idea. Throwing a stick (for your doggy to fetch) isn't illegal, and if a bunny just happens to run in front of it......

I'm still not sure how the rabbit is actually killed. Is the stick sharpened, or is it just heavy and whacks him on the head?

Guessing that you'd have to be a Bl**dy good shot with a sharpened stick or youd end up with lots of mutilated bunnys running about -No, I understand it to be a weighted stick.
Need to be carefull here though guys, something tells me that there will be a law against it somewhere

Off to take the dog for a walk...

The idea is to stun the bunny. Then run over and finish it off with your hands.

Christ guys, I find it easier with a black widow catapult and steel shot, last time i lobbed a stick at a bunny i missed by miles and the cheeky sod looked at where the stick went then looked at me and hopped off, I can imagine him thinking " stupid t**t".

I find the side handed throw is better. The best way to practice is to take a 2ltr pop bottle, put about three inches of water in it for balast and stand it up in the middle of the local park/field/wasteground. Practice throwing the stick at the bottle from different distances until you can knock the base of the bottle over. That's how tennis pro's can whack a ball consistantly into the corner of the court just within the line. They place a pop bottle on the corner of the line and practice hour after hour until they can hit the base of the pop bottle. Works the same for rabbit sticks and slingshots. The only way you get accurate is by practicing over and over again.

Reading this has just reminded me of something my father told me. He was on his way to the local pub during the last war when food was scarce and there was money back on empty bottles. He had a lemonade bottle with him and spotted a rabbit sunning itself on a bank by the road. He lobbed the empty bottle at the rabbit, killed it, so meal for the family, and still got his money back on the empty bottle.
