got out squirrel hunting today i saw one about 100 yards away started walking closer to it and my eyes caught a twitch about 15 yards away so i turned twards it and saw it was a chipmunk so i used a tree as cover and started to close the distance i managed to get about 2 yards away from it i got to full draw and then i peeked behind the tree got my eyes on the chipmunk and released the arrow whople shot process took about 1 second
arrows destroyed but i killed a chipmunk with my longbow. ill post a pic later when it uploads onto facebook pic below
My first ever kill with a trad bow, a recurve, was a bull frog.
Congrats!
Congrats! Nice stalking skills!
If I'm after chipmonks with stick an string, I try to have my .45 long colt along as backup. Those things can be vicious! :thumbsup: :biglaugh: :archer2:
Congrats. I have always left them alone but my home grown chipmonks are digging under my pavers and are going to experience a chipmonk genocide in the coming weeks. Keep after the squirrels, tasty practice.
Nice work!
Thats is a trophy in its own there!! Congrats
Congrats!!!
Congrats!

Way to get on the board. My first kill was a snake to the consternation of some. :D
Congrats! Just the beginning of a never ending journey.

Just don't look them in the eyes...they take it as an act of aggression...keeps them from charging at you. :D
WOW..................
That is something, congrads
Nice job. I think my first kill with traditional equipment was a carp.
Planning a full mount? :bigsmyl:

Nice shooting!! congrates..............
Picked a spot, huh? Have fun! Soon be time for groundhogs!
Killing for no apparent reason. Sorry bro, I'm just not impressed. At my age I just don't kill for the pure hell of it and I have a lot of distain for those who do.
Try this instead. Get about 6 golf balls and take them to the woods. Throw them out at different distances and see how well you can shoot.
