Title: Squirrel Arrows Need Pictures, Thnks
Post by: raimiewmg on May 13, 2008, 11:34:07 am

                          Ok Guys/Gals I have searched for squirrel arrows and found alot but it seams almost all the picture links are dead. So I would appreciate If you would be willing to post some new pictures of your squirrel arrows because squirrel season opens on May 24 in MO and this sould give me plenty of practice for Deer season, besides thier mighty taste with biscuits and gravy!  ;D


Thanks alot Everyone

It opened in TN as well.  The big man and I got two.  I just use my practice arrows with field points.  If they are in the trees I use a blunt with flu flu.

These are what I use. I prefer a spiraled flu flu and you can't beat a "nutter" for a small game head.     Pat

The feathers are left large (spiral or full length/uncut) to slow the arrow.  It will fly pretty much like normal for about 20 yards then rapidly slow down due to drag.  There is a lot of surface area on all those arrows so you can find your arrow easily.

They do make noise but at squirrel range it's not a big deal.  Be sure to shoot them at a target and get them tuned just like a normal arrow because they can fly just a little different.  good luck
