hunter_mike Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 I was in the backyard today with my bow and i wanted to try to get a squirrel. Right away i was able to get a shot. It was a 41 yard shot through the rangefinder but i was still able to hit the squirrel in the rib cage. I thought it was a done deal but to my surprise the squirrel ran and kept running out of sight. I was shocked! It looked like a great hit and even made a thud sound like it smacked him. My buddy was watching me as i took the shot also and he saw the same - a solid hit in the rib cage and a definite body hitting sound as the arrow connected. I just cant understand how this squirrel is not dead and i'm really discouraged about shooting at another squirrel. The only thing i can come think of is the type of broadhead i was using. It was a "shocker" type with a blunt metal tip and springy metal prongs. Has anyone else had bad luck with these broadheads? And does anyone have a recommendation for a better type of broadhead to use specifically for squirrels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
