Anything in season is in danger when I'm bowhunting. Frankly, I don't hunt small game with the bow for its own sake, but I keep two 'squirrel arrows' in my quiver and almost always get to shoot them when on a deer stand.

These two arrows are my utility infielders... they have killed foxes, bobcats, rabbits and groundhogs. As well as squirrels, which in my opinion, are about as difficult a target with a bow as you can find.

I use my Mathews Drenalin for bowhunting.

I have found that it is a huge help with confidence from a tree stand where you will probalby be shooting a deer in the next hour or two to have a go at a squirrel... even if you miss... you'll be able to critique yourself.

My big tip is that silence is deadly.... I used to use G5 Small Game Heads... but they make a lot of noise in flight and small game that spends its life dodging aerial assaults from hawks and the like will not have anything to do with holding still to see whats coming. I acctually switched back to using some old G5 montecs that are loads more silent and started killing a good half of the squirrels I shot at (I was 0 for 7 with my SGHs early this year... and ended up 4 for 14 on squirrels from the tree.... went 5-5 on deer and 1-1 on turkey). I don't have any rocks where I hunt... so its easy to resharpen those heads and have another go.

Additionally... I have switched arrows quick to have a shot at a squirrel.. only to notice a deer coming and now I have a small game head on my arrow... this is not good... so I like to have an arrow (while the montec isn't my first choice for deer) that will at least be responsible and get the job done.
