Do not use snaros! A well placed snaro will NOT kill a bird no matter what! I shot a bird once with my new snaro and 45 recurve. It didn't die, so I shot it with a feild point off my compound(passed through the back end). Then I shot it twice more with the snaros. That slowed the poor thing down long enough for me to net it and break its neck. The only way a snaro might be able to kill a bird is with a bad shot just grazing an extended neck/head and snapping it. Grasshoppers and broadheads are the way to go.
