Way to go RC !!

Takes a mighty fine shot to connect on squirrels and you do it on a regular basis..

Tell us about your bow and how do you like the quiver ?

Thanks guys.
Pat, the bow is 64" long and maybe 50 lbs.4 lams bamboo.R/d. I stained the bamboo I thought dark gray but when I glued it up it darkened up so that it looks like black glass.I built it in 2007 and have killed 14 pigs and one deer with it. I plan to hunt the whole deer season with it.
 I`ve used those quivers off and on for years. I had an old pse quiver I used  nearly 20 years ago till I got hung up in some vines and fell and broke the hood off. I got this Martin Quiver that looks like a delta from bp several years ago and it works good.I don`t like a quiver on my bow. I have several quivers,back quivers,Dawgware and this one. I have arrows in them all ready to hunt. If I`m walking pig hunting and looking for tree rats I like to use this one. It holds seven arrows and I keep the sharp ones on a side I naturally grab first and carry three squirrel arrows elsewhere.RC

I was proud of the shot. He was about 10 feet up in the crotch of a maple tree eating a pine cone. I was maybe 15 yards away and whacked him first shot of the day and season. A good start.RC

Limb jerky! Lol. Never heard that one before. Good shooting. Have to wait till Sep. 15th up here. I'm looking forward to it. I'm sure all those rats I've been seeing stumping all summer will know I can shoot them then, but it'll be fun anyhow. That reminds me, I'd better make up some flu flu's.
