How I spent my summer
« on: February 14, 2012, 09:07:00 PM »
Not as cool as most of the pics I see on here, but still a challenge to shoot...for me at least. Figured I'd share the pics with you for a laugh!

I have to admit, it was a LOT MORE FUN than shooting them with the .22 and I still managed to keep the population down last year despite not using a rifle. Ended up getting nine by the end of the summer.

The bottom pic was my best shot of the summer. A head shot at 21 paces (about 18 yards). Most other shots were at about 6-8 yards.

 

 

BTW, I'm new to the forum and a newbie to traditonal, and I am loving all the information this site has! What a wonderful resource!

That's no joke about being fast! There was a ground squirrel in that hole when I let the arrow go...looking at the picture tells the rest of the story! HAHA!
