[QUOTE="trbii, post: 3558627, member: 2449"] I always took into consideration the proximity of a road, house, building within 500 yards or so of the squirrel hunt. Shooting at a high, up angle with a 40 grain weight .22LR bullet, even if a shot totally misses like a skyline sight picture (best scenario, rarely miss), I feel like any obstruction that bullet hits, leaves, branch’s on it’s way up and down slows and weakens it tremendously. No more dangerous than a falling pebble or piece of gravel. Shooting at a lower angle in a forest increases the chance the bullet will be slowed, weakened and stopped cold before traveling very far.
