Senior Member. 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.
