I used a hex head blunt for the small game, weighted so the arrow weight was close to the same weight as my big game arrows.  I think I still have it around somewhere.

I remember my first bow and arrow rabbit hunt. First shot, maybe 5 yards sitting next to a small tree. Yes, you guessed it, buried that arrow in the tree. Don't know who was more surprised? Me or that rabbit!

Well, I discovered an unbeatable method for hunting squirrels.
I'll share it with you.
I was blood trailing a deer I shot that wasn't a good hit, so the blood spots were hard to see.
I was kinda bent down and walking very slow to find blood and all of a sudden, I cought movement a few feet to my left and there was a Fox Squirrel a few feet from me on the ground.
I pulled an arrow out of my quiver and pegged it to the ground.
Some time later I  actually decided to try that trick to hunt squirrels, got 3 within a half hour and all but one was on the ground and one about a couple feet up a tree trunk.
That one spotted me and jumped on the tree trunk to get a better look.

It good to have a back up bow.    Selling can take time.  Try first at the mentioned shoots.  Become a contributor and sell here. As mentioned shipping cost are part of the equation.  What kind of payment do you want?  Do you  have a paypal account?    What is your credibility and history on the websites you would like to sell on?  Selling a bow on an archery focused website shouldn't be too hard if the bow is priced right.

E**y is not without it's problems; shipping costs for a bow over 60" has doubled since Covid hit and created job, and employment changes. I would agree face to face, and cash is better than a check.

66.  Been some time since I blew the dust off my 58 to 60# bows.  Probably should thin the herd and give younger/stronger folks a go at them.

Quote from: McDave on Today at 06:07:07 PMI bow hunted for deer and elk throughout New Mexico with my brother in law during the 90's.  Our method was spot and stalk on public land, which New Mexico is full of.  Usually, my brother in law would drive his truck into a promising area not far from our camp before daylight, and he would head off in one direction while I would head off in a different direction.

One nice thing about bow hunting is that if there don't seem to be any deer or elk in the immediate vicinity, you can take pot shots at cottontails or grouse without scaring off whatever deer or elk might be around into the next county.  I remember many days when we would meet back at my brother in law's truck at noon with whatever small game we had bagged during the morning, clean them and cut them up into pieces, coat the pieces with flour, salt and pepper them, and fry them up in a pan for lunch.  I remember other days when we arrived back at the truck with nothing and ate tortillas smeared with peanut butter and jelly.  And a few great days when one or the other of us would arrive with a big smile on our face to announce that we had bagged a deer or elk and needed some help cutting it up and hauling it out.
That sounds like a great time. Did you use your regular arrows for the big game to harvest them or did you carry specific arrows for them?
I usually have 1 blunt with me

I have been selling off and/or giving away excess gear lately. At 70 years old, I know what I need and I see no point in having things gathering dust that someone else can use and enjoy.
I think that the classifieds here is as safe a place as you'll find to deal online. Face to face is the cheapest way to go as shipping costs have gotten crazy expensive. Cloverdale, GLLI or the Compton gathering would be a great place to sell your bow. Not sure about GLLI, but Cloverdale and Compton both have a Trade Blanket. Compton most likely will have the most folks that are looking to buy, and it is in Indiana this year.
