rabbit and squirrel bow

[Dimondback]

I shot a standing squirrel the other day square in the sternum (assuming they have a sternum) at 15 yds with my 55# R/D longbow and a "SGT" head. it flipped 3 times and hit the ground. Then it stood up again, barked something in "squirrel" and took off. I would stick with what you have.

I picked up a PRE Grayling Bear Archery Company longbow in showroom condition at an estate sale for $25.  I met people all over the great state of Michigan in my travels to find out what I had.  Was offered $1000 on the spot for it and walked away. It was not for sale.  Ended up trading it to a great friend who collects bows (I don't collect them) for what we both agreed was a fair compromise.  

So yes, you get what you pay for, and it was by far the best $25 I EVER spent.  Made lifelong friends and was introduced to the Michigan Longbow Association, which I am now President of.  

As long as it is legal hunting weight, and you want it..I say enjoy the bow.  I have never seen a Hearse with a luggage rack.  Enjoy it while you can.

Good point Mike, my experience has been on the down side of the scenario.

Only time something like that happened to me.  Wasted A LOT of money on other stuff though.
