Yes, except for one caveat: a thirty pound bow is *slow*. Your chances of success are slim at best.

Your best bet is to get your fps up as high as possible and that means investing in a small number of carbon arrows and ultralight broadheads.

Blunts aren't a good idea at low bow weight. Higher weight shafts and blunts don't perform anywhere near as well as light, fast penetrators..

YES...A 30 lb Bow will work well on Rabbits. The only time draw-weight becomes an issue is when you hunt larger game like Whitetail Deer. All but 5 states in the U.S. it's required that a Bow be of 40lbs minimum weight to hunt Whitetail Deer.Game Biologists over the years have determined that a the 40lb minimum is best to allow the Hunter to get effective consistent penetration, and a clean kill shot on Deer. Other than than there are little or no other restrictions for Bowhunting to speak of. Good Luck!

Wow, thats a heavy bow. If you mean the draw weight, yes it plenty for rabbits and other bigger things. I wouldnt use it on deer, or at least outside of 15 yards. It will easily kill a rabbit if you hit it.

nicely shall we purely positioned it this sort. maximum states require you have 35 lbs of pull on your bow to seek whitetail deer. Deer are very sturdy and rapid animals each so often weighing greater advantageous than 2 hundred pounds. A compound bow would desire to kill very almost something with a nicely placed shot.

I have seen people use the "stubby" points to great effect on rabbits.

Would a 30 pounder have enough impact if you were to use one?

Otherwise, it kicks azz on rabbits!

yes a 30 lb bow is more than enough to take rabbits.
My daughter took her first deer with a 20 lb bow and a very well shot arrow.

yes it will cleanly kill rabbit but I would not use a blunt with it for the energy level is very low I would use a broadhead or a g5 smg head!
