Shooting rabbits with an airgun is an effective and humane way to keep these pest under control – but it isn’t always easy. Mat Manning explains how to shoot more rabbits during your hunting trips by sharing some top tips for late summer ambush tactics. Mat then heads out hunting with his FX DRS Classic / Hawke Sidewinder combo to demonstrate how it’s done.

We also have a review of the Taipan Veteran II Tactical airgun. With an excellent barrel and very consistent power output, this bullpup airgun is built to deliver awesome accuracy at long range. We pair it with the Valiant Zephyr telescopic sight and put it to the test.
