 Really cool Video, Billy. Who's doing the filming? It looks really professional. But it would sure take a lot more than a squirrel for dinner. ;) ;D

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Very cool Billy. Those little buggers are fast and tough. Good shooting!
  Apparently when I mover this it eliminated a post or two. Sorry for that.  ;)

I was reminded of the episode of the Beverly Hillbillies where Jed and Jethro were shooting flies, but it only counted if they were on the wing!!!

The slo mo shots revealed what consumate aerial acrobats these predators really are...that's why they have been around sooooo long.  Imagine shooting the ones from waaaaay back with their 6 ft wingspans!

Some really great videography, Billy. 
Guns have triggers. Bicycles have wheels. Trees and bows have wooden limbs.
