I've never really went small game hunting with my bow. I'll usually be hunting deer when they will hope along on a slow day and I'll try to get them. I had bad luck on the fox squirrels this year though...0 for 2[:'(] Ohh well, I got lucky once while walking out of the woods one morning...took a rabbit at 20 yds with my old bow. First rabbit and archery kill ever! The field tips worked just fine.
