"Son, It may be fun for you, but it ain't much fun for the squirrels, nor my family to pick up the mess. Keep up your squirrel shooting on my property and I'll not be surprised when the squirrels start shooting back.....

Exactly.

That's not saying a whole lot as simple a weapon as they are, but they do carry a high reputation among enthusiasts: https://simple-shot.com/

That’s pretty cool stuff! Questions....

1) Is the Sling Bow capable of taking game bigger than anything you’d normally kill with a slingshot?
2) If so, would that Sling Bow be subject to all the usual bow-hunting regs, or ...
3) Are they illegal for hunting at all?

To appease my wife I shoot them with paintballs. Puts a pretty good thump on them and they have to clean up after. Took about two months to train those tree rats to stay outta my yard and peach trees. Had about a three year lull until the trained ones were replaced with new ones. The shooting has started again.

I started with a pellet gun and only shot males. Didn't help.
