I've always wanted to squirrel hunt with my bow, but I don't want to lose an arrow when I miss.

I always have the urge but can never bring myself to do it. I'm somewhere between if I am not going to eat it I don't shoot it, and if I do what happens if I miss and lose my arrow? Too muchexpense to risk on a danged squirrel. That's just me though. If it works for you then more power to you.

Put one of these in your pocket..... http://www.cabelas.com/link-12/product/0027603410181a.shtml

They're great, you can also use an OLD BH, I'm sure you have an old BH that the blades aren't very sharp on laying around don't you???

Squirrels, rabbits, and coons beware, and even the occasional feral felinious domesticus in areas that I know they are NOT pets.
