Kraz, if you plan on going after squirrels make sure you have a good bunch of crap arrows on hand. There's nothing worse then letting go of a $6.00 arrow just to see it graze the critters back and soar into oblivion time after time, I speak from experience.

I go rabbit hunting out in the desert at least once every two weeks. I've deer hunted a few seasons but haven't had any luck as of yet. But I've taken dozens of rabbits, some squirrels, and a few birds here and there.

What range huh....well it depends on the day. Generally I'm pretty accurate at 15 yards, fairly accurate at 20 yards and not so much at 30 but I get lucky out that far every once in awhile.

For instance last night I took my daughter out hiking and had a nice cottontail at about 30-35 yards. I drew back and nailed that sucker right in the vitals, he didn't even think about going anywhere. That was a pretty lucky shot for me though, about a 1 in 10.

A bow is on my short list of things to get. It's a toss up between a lever action in .30-30, or a compound bow. I'm leaning toward bow, but that may change.
