I didn't think flying squirrels looked like that! I always thought they
were a lot smaller than the one shown in that video.

aahhhaahaahehehe!
walmart, right, has slingshot and ammo.
the slingshot is afirly accurate with minimal practice. a one foot
square at 50' easy.
squirrels run the top of a boardfence here
whoop knockem off into the bush
whizzzing a 1/4 bearing past a squirrel nose is AAA
squirrel eyes are on the sides
so you get the squirrel looking at the approaching bright silver
bearing at 110+
you get the perspective and sound of the bearing getting smaller as it
approachs the squirrels nose
at 2 feet bearing-squirrel, squirrel freezes solid in "absolute
terror"
whazzat?
tearing a hind leg of a squirrel will not keep a hungry squirrel from
the feeder
but getting hit with a 110+ 1/4 bearing it sure do induce trauma
all i do now is knock on the slider once and shazamm daze gone.

interesting quote:

"For the squirrel, the frog and other species that have retreated ever
higher, there may be no place left to go.

"As the climate warms, these species on top of the sky islands are
literally getting pushed off into space," Dr. Overpeck said.""

that's the funniest damn thing i've read on this group in ages!

bashing small anmals with the bike is a surprise, the bike moving
slowly.
but you know you can't reach down and pick one up caws daze just too
damn fast.
but you do remember your mom or dad attempting some kind of instructed
orientation period for learning about TSD with the ICE.
and so it goes with the squirrel. at the farthest fence corner out the
backdoor maybe 50' is an oak with a leaning bend. leaning away. a
squirrel perch. the squirrel is above me by 10' looking down.
after 3 weeks of learning to whaaap squirels off the fence, one or two
squirrels learned to move away from the oncoming bearing-just enough
for the bearing to whizz by 3-4" away. only on the perch. too busy
everywhere else to get a grip on the bearing. I can pull the sling
back 18": 120 mph at 50'? and squirrel steps aside.

I think that her seat was too high, which caused a rocking motion of
her hips.

projectile is subsonic - they can hear you release before it gets close.
abandon single 1/4" projectile for multiple 1/8". a 1'+ spread is
much harder to dodge.
