Out shooting a bit near the house, ran accross this "Barker" and managed to put a good hit on him. One blade from the Big Jim 300 grain VPA hit him accross the bridge of the nose at 18 yards. Few small twitches and it was over. 58" Widow PSA II, 70# @ 30", shooting 31" Gold Tip 75/95's tipped with the a for mentioned Big Jim Big 3.

Was out shooting again today and got another one with the Kwyk Styk, 58", 61# @ 30", shooting a 31" Gold Tip 55/75 with a 200 grain Snuffer on the end. Just over 15 yards and literally within 2 yards from where I shot the one the other day...

Went out again today... Took the Morrison Shawnee, 62", 64#, shooting 31" Gold Tip 55/75 with 175 grain Judos. 16 - 17 yard shot downhill caught him right between the shoulder blades facing me, exit out the left hip. Had to step on him to finish him a bit quicker.

Three males in three outings with three different bows and three shots.

Went out again today, took my 60" MOAB, 62#, shooting 31" Gold Tip 55/75 with 175 grain Magnus 1 on the end. And where there are Males, there will be Females... Missed her with the first shot at about 12 yards and got a second shot on her off the side of a tree while she peeked around it trying to find me, maybe 19 yards. You can see the damage...

Went out today before it rained, took this one with my 56" Kwyk Styk, 62# @ 30", shooting a 31" Gold Tip with a 200 grain Snuffer. 14 yards right through the left shoulder and out the right lung.

Took my 60# Morrison Shawnee today, shooting 31" Gold Tip with 175 grain Magnus 1 on the end. This was about an 8 yard shot, caught him at the back of the lungs on the right side angling forward and pretty much took out everything on the left side. (This is the cleanest side you are seeing here...).

I've only got one more bow in the rack that I haven't used to take a Squirrel this year... Guess what I'll be carrying the next time I head out...

Well, after a weekend camping and fishing with the family I got a chance to head out again tonight. Never been out there at this time of the day, didn't see any Squirrels, but did see a few Voles... I was shooting my 68# MOAB with 31" Gold Tips and 175 grain Judos. This shot was about 7 yards and I had to hold at full draw for about 15 seconds to pinpoint him in the fading light... I hit him in the head but truthfully was just looking at center mass... Even so, with the tangle of stuff he was in I had to blood trail him for about 4 feet to find him, luckily I still had a flashlight in my Arrowmaster from the Solana hunt...

Head shot too! Nice.......

Definitely did not have to worry about penetration with that setup. Are you shooting 800 gr arrows? Nice shot, deer and elk should be easy for you.

You must be hunting over a squirrel scrape to have that much action in one spot! Great shots on small targets. Congratulations!

I miss living in Missouri and Georgia where the tree rats are plenty. I grew up with my dad taking me squirrel hunting with a .410 and have taken my share as a kid with a old ben pearson 30 lbs recurve. Great shootin.

Nice shooting! Can't wait for the fall, I'm going to give this a try. Never really gave it much thought but you make it look fun...and easy :D

Osage61 · « **Reply #14 on:** June 14, 2011, 01:50:00 PM »

I don't shoot you like you Jeff so although you make it look easy I know it's not. Hopefully I can find some squirrels about the same size as a paper plate !!

Two head shots and 18 and 15yds. Thats shooting! You were probably just unnerved a little on the last one with him getting ready to charge and all. I love pan fried squirrel.
