I was in stand watching the blue jays and gray, red, black, squirrels when I started to think of a time when I was 9yrs old in Georgia. I had an older couple that lived 1/2 a mile from my home and I spent most of 4 summers at their home. The older gentlemen gave me my first game cocks to breed and fight, his wife cooked me my first squirrel dumplings!! MMMMmmmm GOOD. She knew that I loved to hunt the local population of critters and told me the next time I got a passel of squirrels to bring them over and she would cook them up!!
Fast forward to yesterday, After recalling this past memory I had a plump squirrel stop 40 yards out from my stand. To make a short story shorter I pulled up put the mark on him and pulled the release. The broad head cut him deep on the left side of his neck. He fell and bleed out right on the spot. Now here is were the rethinking range comes in. If a good Excalibur can take a squirrel at 40 yrds why do I hold myself to a 30 yard shot or less?? If you can take a squirrel at 40yards then surly a deer should not be a problem!!

P.S. To nights squirrel dumplings were not like my first but were darn good non the less.
