Title: First trad kill!!
Post by: CRM_95 on January 04, 2016, 03:42:00 PM
Not a deer, but still...I'm pretty stoked!! About 8 yards and made a great shot. I normally eat squirrels, but I'm seriously thinking about getting this one mounted. I think I'm hooked..

Nice! Congratulations! I'm still waiting for my trad first squirrel. Nothing like hunting them with a stick bow.

Small targets are way harder to hit.  Congrats on a precision shot!

Squirrels can be tough since they know the matrix moves.

Congrats on your first.

If you can shoot a squirrel, something as big as a deer will be no problem!

Congrats on your first!

A small game tip. I think I may start using old broadheads though. It did the job, but not as well as I'd like to see.

I've always called them fox squirrels. This one was really dark, almost black. We have a lot here that are black.

Odds are that if you can drill tree rats at 8 yards, you can drill deer at 20.Good shot!

With Trad, Any kill is a good one..
My first Trad Kill was a Cotton tail at about 20 yds.

Congratulations CRM.

A Squirrel with a bow is a trophy, they are quick & alert. I've shot where they were before!   :dunno:
