LOL! Becuase I can shoot; I throw "like a girl", no offense. It also is smaller and lighter and easier than carrying and finding a lot of rocks, and they work better on moving targets due to a higher velocity.

I've made effective body shots on squirrels further than that, but but for rabbit or woodchuck, I'd want to go for a headshot rather than lose the game. I also usually don't see the little stuff much further away than 25 feet in my area, the scrub is too thick.
