Do you have the guts?
Like pressure shots?
Heard about a shoot having an Iron Rabbit, and thought so my self “self you should build one to force those pressure shots” so I thought I should build one.... only problem, I don’t have the guts yets
Hole/killzone is 2-3/4”

Some of our 3D shoots here in ND have an Iron Deer I've never seen an Iron Rabbit . I've wrecked a number of arrows on the deer I could get wiped out on a rabbit !!!

Forces a new concept in Trad shooting - picking a spot BEYOND your target......or else!

I am with Tim - iron deer has already gotten several of my arrows over the years. Bunny would be worse! Post some pics once you get the guts.

We have a couple of those. A bunch of us get together every year for a shoot/cook out at one guys house and we sit them at about 45-50 yards. They are the last targets and are worth quite a few points, they can make you a winner. Every year someone usually slips one in there and there are a few broken arrows and a lot of laughingJack.

Years ago, I helped set up and shoot in ENC. The last target was a steel pig about 24" long and about a 3" hole to shoot through. The shot was optional, but earned you bonus points. The cool thing was, when someone hit the steel you could hear it everywhere on the course. It was only about a 10 yd shot for trad, but very intimidating.

I was at a shoot in NY State where they had a black bear target inside a steel drum. You had to shoot through a hole maybe 8 or 10 inches in diameter to hit the vitals.

I've lost a few arrows to something like that before.

Was at a shoot years ago that had a large iron pipe. Get into the pipe and you hit the target, maybe. I can verify that the edge of the pipe was bigger than the hole, I hit it twice. That iron rabbit would not work for me, I always shoot bunnies in the head. At least that is what I would claim when I missed the hole.

A number of shoots around here incorporate steel silhouette targets, which offer increased points. Haven't seen any as small as a rabbit though.

I made the iron bunny shot a few times at that shoot........always a challenge. I also shortened a few arrows as well.
