Default Broke in my Vectrix

We haven't got to hunt for the last 3 weeks as gun season has been open and I have been going stir crazy. Bow opens back up monday. I have a 2nd floor sundeck that is 20 ft off of the ground so while taking a break from busting out lathe and plaster walls and ceilings inour home; I had to take out a pest with my new Vectrix. They arequite edgy when they see me on the deckand I finally got this shot off by shooting through a 4" space in my deck railing. 25 yd shot. Gave him to my neighbor as the 'ole boy loves squirrel. I probably easily shoot 30 a year off of my deck and more just keep coming.My sundeck makesgreat treestand shooting practice. This is the only safe way to shoot squirrels in my yd without risking an arrow getting damaged or a richochet, the arrow pins them to the ground also and allows you a quick followup shot if needed. Notice I don't use my expensive A/C/C arrows for squirrels.

Great looking bow there, HCH!

(I shot a cottontail rabbit years back with a then-brand new Mathews MQ-1 broadside, at20 yards-- and got about the same amount of penetration! [:-])
