Harvest - Dispatch - Humane - Bolt Guns
*Videos shown below are from ~10 years ago.
New videos featuring the current models of bolt guns will be added shortly (for 2025).
The same mechanical mechanisms and user methodology still applies.





Rabbits

.

Poultry

Both models of our bolt guns are suitable for chickens and the SAME max weight for rabbits (11lbs).

The Arbalest is additionally rated for large poultry including turkeys.

Guinea Pigs / Cavies

The Arbalest being used on a guinea pig. 

Great for those who raise cuy for meat or cavies for show!

Note the "stirring" action of the bolt following dispatch. This ensures the brain is properly pithed.

The Ballista can also be used.

Note: The cervical dislocation (CD) method for cavies -as used in rabbits-is NOT recommended due to the thick musculature. Please use a penetrating bolt gun, ammo powered gun, or veterinary euthanasia if you need to dispatch a guinea pig.
