Squirrel hunting setup?

Pat B:
Here are pics of a few fluflus and nutters. The fluflu in the middle might be wrapped or laid the wrong way.

Fox:
Thanks pat ;D

I did do them the wrong way, and my arrows spines were a little wrong :fp :fp

I got one that was shooting good though  :)

Pat B:
Generally arrow spine isn't much of a deciding factor. The fact that the fluflu creates so much drag it straightens out the arrow pretty quickly.
 You can trim down the diameter of the fluflu to get more distance from these spiral fluflus. Full height fluflus will go about 30 to 35 yards before they put on the brakes.

I was able to get a few squirrels last year with a fiberglass recurve and carbon arrows. I used a Zwickey broadhead because I had a blunt bounce off a rabbit, so I don't mess around with anything but a sharp broadhead anymore. They go right through the squirrel and that's it, the squirrel doesn't even know what hit them. I also lost a whole bunch of arrows, including some fluflus, and I love arrows (even my carbon ones) so I look for them for at least an hour and pout the whole day if I can't find them. This year I'm excited to go out with homemade tackle. I'm in the process of making a couple dozen arrows so at least when I'm crying over a lost arrow, I'll have another one nocked on the string.

On an unrelated note, I don't know if you've had squirrel before, but its unbelievably flavorful. I crave it now. I think its the most delicious meat we have available. I would take a squirrel over any cut of beef, pork, chicken, turkey, venison, rabbit, bear, frog legs, anything..
