I have shot three...but only in the back yard...Oh and never ever use field tips very very bad idea.......Use judo points, old broadheads...or some other broadhead....fieldtips don't cut it...

Yeah, i have shot a couple and its fun. Going with hoytmt here, be merciful and don't use field points, it gets nasty.

I got me a new longbow recently and I plan on getting a few squirrels with it soon. I'll use judos and some aluminium arrows that fly well. I have some flu-flus for it too, for those up-in-the-tree-shots.

Yes! its a blast, i use adder points behind some 100gr field points...they cant take too much of that! Wont ever hunt squirrels again with anything but a bow. Its addicting.

Yeah I got a couple with my bow (PSE Hunter). I am a fairly new hunter and me and my father mostly go Whitetail Bow/Gun and Turkey. However we often go squirrel hunting for some fun.

I've gotten several. Only one I didn't find but i know that i did or most likely hadhit him; The bottom half hit the ground and the BH got him but he was able to crawl back into his hole. The day that i got a couple, i forgot to bring my camera, go figure

When I was a kid back in the 70's we used to bowhunt squirrels. We used flu-flu fletchings andblunt points.Ihaven't seen those fletchings in years.
ive killed squirrel with bow...while deer hunting...its fun but you can pretty much forget about the deer once you start....i use blunt tips but no flu..flu as i only take shots when they are on the ground...Squirrels dont care if your there as long as your fairly still and quiet...i would shoot them in the trees butim poor and cant afford new arrows all the time...i would think rabbits are the same but i dont have any good grassyarea ican hunt with permission...im always in the deep woods andi havent seen any rabbits their

Never tried that one. We coon hunt with bows. We use the flu flu so you don't end up going to the far corners of the world to try and retreive the arrows. ITS GREAT !!!
