.22LR range
If the squirrel was strolling along at a mile and 1/4, it could technically get accidentally killed. But then, according to NRA training, you should know your target and what's behind the target. Though, if you can see the squirrel, it is close enough for the range of the .22lr. On the other hand, if you miss the game, the bullet will still travel about a mile and 1/4, and possibly in Farmer Brown's rusty pick-up truck, or favorite hound dog...giving hunters a bad name.
