Default L. C. Smith and the rock squirrel

Yesterday while shooting clay targets at my house with a 1906 L. C. Smith 12 gauge Grade 2 I happened to notice a rock squirrel sitting on the edge of a shed roof behind my garage. I told my brother and asked if it looked like a squirrel to him. All he said was shoot it. I shot with the full choke of the L. C. and the squirrel simply fell to the ground. When I retrieved him he was quite dead. Today while at the house I measured the range and it was 41 yards. I thought that was a great testimony for the full choke barrel of the gun using Remington STS Light Handicap shells with 1 1/8th ounces of number 8 shot.
