Gerbil415 0 Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 Hi all! Very new to hunting. Haven't actually shot anything yet or have a rifle (on it's way) Just curious, i have ordered a Smk air rifle and Smk lead pellet's. I aim to be shooting live rabbit's, birds and other small game, but i'd also like to eat these. Will using lead pellets give me lead poisoning? I know this may be a simple question but i thought i'd better be safe! Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rake aboot 4,936 Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 I wouldn`t worry about lead poisoning, as the SMK will be lucky to penetrate the skin on a rabbit. Starvation mibbe, but not lead poisoning best way to kill a rabbit with an SMK is to hide up a tree and drop it on the bunny as he passes under you. Aim for the heed. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Malt 379 Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 No, you won't get lead poisoning unless you keep eating the pellets! ..and ignore that cranky git up there, he's probably out of whiskey.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
