I drilled one last season with a judo. It ran up a tree about twenty yards in front of me, and barked at me for probably 25 minutes. Tuff little turds!

I think I hit one squirrel once out of every 100 shots. And they say deer have fast reflexes

Yes these buggers are fast. I took this one with my Longbow a few days ago. I hit him wih a Black Diamond Delta. Look where the arrow hit him through the hind quarter and came out mid way on the other side of the Squirrel. They are fun to shoot at, this make number 2 in the past month.

Those wascally wabbits......err I mean squirrels. Awesome videos!  I swear the few tree rats that I have stuck were nothing short of peer luck.  
Awesome movies!   :archer:

last shot at one it was going to be a clean miss until he jumped into the arrow for a head shot and ending up doing himself

2 weeks ago, I hit one square in the chest as he was standing on his hind legs in the crook of a tree at eye level..15yds ish away...shot a spiral fletched flu flu at him with a "SGT" small game head. He cut a flip or two out of the tree, landed on his back, rolled over, barked at me and then took off...I now shoot 4 fletched flu flu with a field point/viper small game head combo so there is at least some penetration...too many misses to count as well. Great video!

Awww, Greg....that don't count.

Everyone knows that fox squirrels are blind, fat, slow and stupid!   :laughing:  

I shot and hit ONE once...with a muzzy...he jumped up and ran off the property onto posted ground like a scalded cat!

Guys who say they shoot them w/ big blunts must head shoot them ornery suckers!

This past season...(my first as a Trad user only), I was desperately trying to claim a 1st kill! Since most deer on my property have higher than normal IQs and none turned out to be suicidal, I elected to attempt to reduce the current Red Squirrel populace. Regretfully, my Judo points only managed to clip a tip of a tail and fur on several occasions!

I have a picture of a jack rabbit's ear hanging off my judo.  That's all I got, the rest of him left quickly.  A jack is 4 times larger than a squirrel, and they can move, but darn, those in that video are amazing!  Great film, thanks for sharing
