So I was just out shooting in the backyard
« on: September 03, 2010, 08:42:00 PM »
I was tinkering around and shooting at 50 yards.  Never missed the haybale but the bullseye was not in any danger.

Right after I let an arrow fly and it barely caught the edge of the bale I heard a swish in the walnut tree followed by a fairly loud thump!  It was a squirrel that had fallen out of the tree.  I just wonder if he was laughing so hard that he had to hold his sides and lost his grip.

The quest to improve is so focused on a few design aspects & compensating for hunter ineptness as to actually have reduced a bow & arrow’s effectiveness. Nothing better demonstrates this than mech. BHs & speed fixated designs

I went stumping yesterday and put a stalk on 2 squierrels.  They didn't pay any attention to me at 50 yards but when I closed the distance to 25 yards I thought I could hear them chuckling as they scampered up to their nest. I think they might have gotten the word through the squierrel grapevine.  The challenge has been made.  I will show them!

And the song, from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend.

Yep, you got to watch them squirrels cause they can charge pretty quick and it takes a bunch to put them down. Oops,darnit, thinking of cape buffalo again.....
