RE: Squirrel hunters: your average shot
Over the years I have generally hunted squirrels useing a .22 LR w/scope. Even using a scope, my shots would still average around 35 - 40 Yds. In fact, I used to sight my scope in at 35 Yds.
I'm now shooting a lever action with a tang peep sight and this has forced me to "get a bit closer"...LOL.....with most shots being in the 25 - 30 Yd range.
