I made a squirrel launcher once. It had two board that were hinged, and used bungee cords for tension. The first squirrel got lopped about 100 ft out into the woods. The second time he just got flipped into the air a little. The third time, the squirrel was fast enough to hop off as soon as it heard the trigger click. I was never able to lauch him again. He beat it every time.
Cut a 2x4 in half. Place hinges on the outside so they close together. Drill holes for bungee cord. Set up release blah blah.... Wait for furry thing. Cut release watch splat that is all. Oh you can add spikes for more effect.
Although it is kinda funny. I'm a wimp I find it impossible to do that kinda shit. I would loose sleep worrying about the poor squirrel. What if it was daddy squirell just tring to bring home a few peanuts for his little family?
old horsefaced ann coulter would turn over in her grave if she heard you say that.Just imagine the Squirrels are mexicans, Im sure you could handle it
