Was about the fourth round of shooting when.....

Isn't the mind a bad  thing. I've done that before. Like when I shoot a target and it turns when you hit it. You say to yourself I hope I don't hit that arrow that's turned sideways. Then bam you nail it.lol nevers fails unless I'm shooting at a deer and I want  o make a good shot. Then it doesn't work

Yeah , Crazynate , I have had arrows hit a bag target and then hang down .
I have learned to pull them before I shoot another arrow .
Took a couple times before I learned that .

Tough lesson, but it might make you a better shot!

Those sure are pretty arrows!

Dang it hit so hard it popped the nock off even! I bet over the years graps, you could make a pretty big pile like that. Not the first nor the last, but the pain never gets any better.   :nono:

You need a bigger target, so these little temptations are not so eminent.  I use four foot cube soy bean seed crates.  Higher grade nylon weave than any target on the market, stuffed with black and white silage plastic.  The filler has lasted me ten years, each bag lasts for two or three years.  I now have a source for three foot cube crate bags of the same quality from Vogel paints.  The cost of all of this stuff is free.  However, there is a hole in my garage about a foot to the side, that is filled with the arrow that made it, painted over, it is only there as a reminder.  I blame the mudd wasp that kept landing on my white target.  There were morning dew drops on the target, mudd wasps apparently like dew drops and my yellow feathers.  I took a close but no cigar shot at one on the move, I swung with the targeted wasp, took a little lead and killed my garage and a Surewood. I heard a crack as soon as I pulled on it and simply snapped it off in side and out side.
