Yes it is possible to kill birds and rabbits with a slingshot but not reccommended unless your accurate with the slingshot and know your distances. Its like any shooting if youdon't know your distances or if you can penetrate its not worth taking the shot because it should be a quick clean kill. Now if you just doing that for fun I'd recommend shooting paper targets or clay pigeons. If you doing to have supper go with something bigger like a .22 or .17 instead because they weill be by far more accurate than your slingshot.

David slew Goliath with a slingshot, but tell me, why would you want to kill animals with a slingshot? As a last resort weapon of opportunity it is better than a stout stick, but really, hunting with a slingshot probably isn't even legal.

yep. There used to be wrist rocket competitions. I have even seen coyote taken down with a wrist rocket slingshot and a 38 caliber ball.

IF DAVID KILLE DGOLIATH IN THE BIBLE I GUESS YOU COULD
I AM AN AVID BIG GAME HUNTER AN UPLAND BIRD HUNTER
I QUESTION WHY U WANT TO KILL SOMETHING
ARE U HUNGRY ?
OR ARE YOU A BUDDING FUTURE HUNTER ?
I KILL FOR FOOD
YES I CAN GO TO THE GROCERY STORE LIKE EVERYONE ELSE BUT I HAVE 300 LBS OF ELK MEAT WITH NO FAT, NO PRESERVATIVES AND NO INJECTED CRAP LIKE THE BEEF THE NON-HUNTERS EAT.
I LOVE HUNTING AND AM QUITE GOOD AT IT.
I DO NOT KILL FOR THE SAKE OF KILLING, BE IT SPARROWS, CHICKENS OR MICE.
I BELIEVE ALL LIFE IS WORTH KEEPING ALIVE.
I ALSO BELIEVE I HAVE A RIGHT TO FILL MY FREEZER WHICH I DO EVERY YEAR.
PUT DOWN YOUR TOY AND PICK UP A RIFLE AND LEARN TO HUNT .
ENJOY YOUR RIGHT TO DO SO BUT DO IT WITH HONOR FOR THE THINGS YOU HARVEST.
LEAVE THE REST TO LIVE.

YES, if you get good, you can kill lots of things. With a full length draw and a big fat steel ball bearing i've taken down about 3 raccoons, and with smaller ball bearings too many birds and squirrels to count.

You can kill anything with a slingshot, it all depends on how well you shoot.

Yes, if you can hit them. Only small stuff at short range though. Personally I wouldn't even try, you have much more chance of just injuring them and that is immoral.

Yes you can, especially birds. Rabbits you could probably kill if you hit them just right.

Birds - yeah if you can hit them.
Rabbits - I doubt you would kill them, but it may stun them long enough for you to get to them and finish them off.
