RE: squirrl hunters
i will use a 410 during the early season... during the later part of the year i will use my 10/22 when the tree rats are running around on the ground... i also look beyond my intended target

I use a 20 gauge and .22 for squirrels. When I use the .22, I make sure what is behind what I am shooting at, but most of the time they are on the ground so I don't have to worry as much as if I would be shooting up into a tree.

Your bullet has just as much chance of bouncing off a tree and hitting someone as a bb from a shotgun does. but to prevent that you see whats beyond your target. also, a typical .22 will usualy only travel about a mile so its not like its gunna keep going into some city and kill someone.
