When I was much younger, my friends and I would hunt squirrels with a bow. We even managed to bag a few.

We would lose lots of arrows, especially on those tempting shots at one sitting out on a limb. If the squirrel was a gainst the trunk or large limb, we'd usually get that arrow back although sometimes it would be bent. ( aluminum)

Shooting at squirrels with a bow is definitely fun. To tell you the truth, I enjoyed a close miss more than an actual hit. I hated cleaning those tuff buggers.
