Title: Squirrel Hunting with Primitive Bow (Video)
Post by: billy on January 31, 2016, 11:07:36 am

Hey guys, been a while since I posted here, but I thought I'd share a video I recently uploaded to YouTube where I'm hunting squirrels with my bow.  The link is below.  For me this is the most fun I have hunting every year...I LOVE squirrel hunting!  For those of you who didn't get a chance to hunt much this year, or for those of you who did but may not have been successful, here's a little pick-me-up.  Know that it's not easy, but with practice and persistence, you'll eventually be successful. 
Enjoy!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmknaWwGEvQ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmknaWwGEvQ)

Great video, always enjoy your hunts. Shooting up into the trees I wonder why you don't use a flu-flu type fletching ??

Nice job! I do some rat shooting from time to time with my bows, and man are they fast critters too. Mostly impressed by your arrows.

Try rabbits a few times. Squirrels will come much, much easier for you. A semi-still target is an easy target most often. Targets moving 10-15 mph are difficult, to say the least.

That was a great video Billy.  I was watching it last night while I was grilling and got so engrossed in the action that I overcooked my burgers.

I always watch your videos. need some more knapping ones.  I really liked the glass buttes trip, and of course your bow building series.  8)
