My son is hunting squirrels with 20 gauge shotgun, #5 or #6 shot. He has taken a lot of shots where the squirrel keeps running after the shot. I don't know if its a complete miss or just wounded.
I have setup targets and it seems like he always hits a squirrel size target with enough pellets at reasonable range 25 yards are so.
He can also hit thrown clay target.
He has been using a mod choke, I am switching him to full for next hunt.
I always thought high brass 6 would be enough to kill a squirrel.
Anybody else have a experience with this?
Maybe try #4 with tight choke?
