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...

Well, I just got a bow back in my bowrack that I saved... check the story:   History of a bow...  

Shot her a bit yesterday, and took her out this morning.  Morrison Cougar, 62", 55# @ 29", shooting a 30" Gold Tip 35/55 with 125 grain judos.  Took this hoss of a vole at about 11 yards, hit solidly in the right lung.
