Mkay. Short answer = yes. Long answer = Unless you are just a VERY good shot you are not going to get a clean kill, and even then you are going to have to be VERY close. I have hunted small game with throwing knives and with throwing sticks (Sharpened on one end using a 1/2 rotation throw)

My suggestion? Build and learn to use a sling. It isn't hard, once you get accurate with it you will be amazed at how effective it is, and there is a great deal of satisfaction in being able to effectively take a squirrel/rabbit/whatever from a good distance with a sling.

once you learn to use them properly yes by far. In ancient times the romans as well as other armies used slingers and archers. Slingers were considered by far more deadly, and had greater range than the archers of the day did. Plus they could improvise ammo at will. It became so poopular that many ancient armies forced me to learn the sling since one could be carried practially anywhere with nothing to speak off in weight. Then ammo could be gotten in an emergency. The romans even used, at one time, sling "towers" which where platforms that a few specially trained slingers would stand on. Their slings (per historical drawings and findings) ranged from 9' to 11' in length and they would sling rocks or cast "bullets" the size of a large grapefruit several hundred yards. Naturally there were not many of these "long" slingers since it took one man to load the sling and one to use it, but they were extremely effective since a "bullet" that size was more than capable of killing and wounding several men at once at a VERY long range.

Anyway back to the grind.
