Squirrel Hunting 2012

Shooting a 70# Martin Hunter with POC arrows and steel blunt tips. Took my limit of five Grays in 3 hours with only 4 misses.

You are all too kind. I think I am finally at the point where the whole recurve/instinctive shooting finally works best for me. Years ago on this site I was told to keep at it and someday it would just "Click"
 Well it Clicked and I am not looking back..........
Thanks again for the kind words as usual!!

Those Martin Hunters are great bows!  One of my favorites.  I'm wondering if you have enough bow though for those tree rats!     :laughing:      Congratulations on a great hunt!

Great shooting! I had a friend shoot a limit of squirrels(5) with his recurve in an afternoon(he said it took him a lot of shots though).
I'm happy if I can shoot one a season.
