Whats the grey squirrel head size?
Does any one know the average grey squirrel head size? or should I say length. 50-55mm or around 2 inches?

Trying to practice distance ranging and the head is the only constant to me (tail is alway moving everywhere).

I nail hundreds of the tree rats every year. Practice w/ a one-inch target and plan on body shots if you’re using a .22-.25. Too easy to miss the head at different ranges. About 20% of the ones killed have had head shots, but that’s mostly because the head was peeking over a branch/around a tree, nothing else to target. Chest shots work best, most pcps in the .22+ category will blow through arm/shoulder bones.
Then divide that by eight to get an idea of the size of the boiler room nugget. :biggrinn:
think of an egg
34 :biggrinn:
It depends on the magnification of your scope. :rofl:
It’s about a 1.5″ kill zone.

Maybe 1″ by 1.25″ from the side. Less front or back. Under 40-50 yards I normally do head shots. Depends on what is exposed. Sometimes a body shot.
