I try to shoot squirrels that pass under my treestand, but have only shot at one so far. I don't go after them specifically with bow though.

Me and some buddies rent a house here at college. Our yard is nothing but big old oaks and hickories...I've been known to let a few arrows fly from my upstairs bedroom. Does that count?

Other than that, I've only shot at the occasionaly squirrel from my deerstand.

I carry one arrow with a Magnus Stinger that I will yse on Squirrels. I have yet to connect on one. However I did take my first rabbit with a bow this year.

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.

Sure do!! I use a PSE Coyote recurve and flu-flus with judo points. I carry some 100gr Magnus heads with Rabbit fur instead of fletching for Armadillos and bunnies.

I shot one in the head from about 10 yards the other day. just make sure you got a backstop that won't mess up your arrow.
