Re: [RC] guns to euthanize--OT a bit - D'Arcy Demianoff-Thompson

I would suggest you contact your local Animal Control and see if they offer a course of some kind.  Knowing exactly where to place the bullet is paramount so as not to accidently prolong an animals suffering.  I have never had to do that but have had several friends that have a small hand gun that they use when necessary.  However, they have stipulated how important it is to know exactly where to place the bullet. 
 
Aside from a gun I would talk with my vet as to what he/she can leave you that will exact the same result.  There again - felling a 1000 pound horse is not easy and you have to know what direction the horse is going to fall.  There again instruction at a vet school might help.
