I noticed that airgunners always strive for kills under 25 yards on small game...

How close can you really get to squirrels for a kill shot?

I get within 10 yards sometimes. Usually under 15.

That's not bragging. It's just letting people know that it can be done.
150+ yards, now that would be bragging.

7 shots in that poster at 100 yards? How big is it?

I once shot 3 rockchucks with the same Eun Jin dome.
It was by chance. I was aiming at one closest to me, in
front of the pack and it went through the target animal's
head, out at an angle, through the one behind and to the
right of him's abdomen, out at yet another angle and
through the last one's throat.

Anyone with a high powered .22 PCP could of acomplished it
as they were thick (130+ rodents). Like shooting fish in a
barrel. You're bound to get multiple hits.

I picture myself a group of em, a bang and all but three scurrying off...

Must've been a bit of a "WTF" moment?

Fritz,
If you are dressed in full camo, tree squirrels(real, wild ones of the oak woods, such as we have here in Wisconsin) will come right up next to you. Or, you can easily stalk them. I observed this all the time back in my bowhunting days.

Also remember, the squirrels can see the color orange !
