I was as proud of my first squirrel with a bow as I was of any deer I've shot. I got him with a hickory selfbow I had made. To think that I had actually hit something that small at 15 yards. In fact, I bragged to anyone who would listen. That shot gave me so much confidence. I still seldom if ever take a shot at deer over 15 yards, but when it feels right , I go for it. If I have to think about it, think about the distance and how I should compensate, I don't shoot, whether it's deer or squirrel.
