Can't say I ever whacked a squirrel with one, but there's bunnies in heaven and snakes in hell on account of one of these.
A wrist rocket!! Many moons ago, when I visited a friend in the Houston area, we shot squirrels and rats off of power lines with these. Scary accurate ... though I wonder why his neighbor never complained about all the little white marbles in his pool :-) Thanks for the great memory!!
