Anyone know the rules on how far you need to be away from a residence while hunting with an air riffle? My parents have tons of rabbits in their driveway but they are all within 100 feet of a residence. I can make the shot safely but it’s not legal.

No, but my Benjamin Nitro piston .22 was so quiet I don't think anyone would ever notice.

They are so quiet that I'm kind of surprised that NY doesn't require some sort of flash-bang devise that actuates every time the trigger is pulled! I'm sure some idiot in the legislature is working on it, and will come up with a catchy name for their dumbfuckery.

Airgun law in NY is confusing. But from my understanding it would fall under the same rules as a firearm because airguns are listed in that definition in our hunting regs.
