Twice as a young boy i remember killing a bird with a stone. The first was sitting on a rock about the size of a bushel basket. The stone hit the rock right in front of the bird, bounced up and killed the bird.
The other time, I was walking on a road at my grandfather's house. The bird was 30 yards or so standing in the road. I skipped a stone, just like on a pond. The stone took out the birds legs and the bird was dead. I caught hell for that one from my dad. I didn't think I would hit either one of those birds. I have no idea after all these years, what kind of birds they were. Just little ones.

Both of these aren't archery related...but I was playin catch with my younger brother one time with a baseball.  Rabbit was nibblin on mom's flowers about 20 yards away and I drilled that rabbit right in the shoulders with a fastball.  Sounded like it hit a basketball.

Another time, I used to work in a lumberyard.  Buddy of mine and I were walkin along the lifts of lumber and chipmunk pops up and starts runnin along the 2x6x14s.  He pops his tape measure off his belt and drills the chippie running right in the head straight away from us.

most memorable trophy  was the first kill i ever made. their is a ground squirrel problem in Alberta. I found one poking his head out of a hole and snuck up 20 yards and shot 4 arrows at its head funny thing about ground squirrels their head move faster than their bodies on the fifth arrow i nailed that lil bugger. the thing they didn't warn me about is that ground squirrels are actually in the dangerous game category he chewed through the two arrows i had in him. I was scared out f my wits  but the third arrow sent the lil ground squirrel straight in to his grave. Il never forget that kill he was a monster and took more arrows to kill him than any thing els I ever shot.

Not a bow story, but I was dry flyfishing in Kamloops bc at Jocko lake and I hooked a bat in the dark....couldn't figure out why my fly line was going UP...thought I had drifted into the trees.

So I start pulling in the line and on the end was a bat trying like crazy to get off.

Well all was good until he started chewing on my FENMWICK....so I shoved the tip in the water and after a few seconds the action stopped...I pulled my rod out and he was draped over the end of my rod.

I just cut the leader...then the cool thing happened.

The bat was just laying there in the water and I heard the biggest slurp ever....I turned and he was gone...figured it was an 8+ pound rainbow..

i didn't have any BAT FLIES LEFT...crap.

I got a first place trophy for the trad division at a 3-D shoot a few years back.  Very unusual for me.

MOLE, was out shooting and was walking back to the house. Something caught my eye and the little so and so, was digging his little path. Not a long shot about 10 feet would be my guess. Pulled the arrow and sure enough had me a MOLE trophy.

Well I haven't had any success yet with my bow with the animals that I'm hunting but while practicing in the backyard I've taken two honeybees and a bumblebee! What? They're trophy's to me

When i was 18 yrs old a buddy of mine and his wife came to my house to buy a gun from me.

I was shooting off my dad's deck when they arrived and my friend said can you hit anything with that bow.

A bird was sitting on a fence post 25yds away and i said watch this.

I shot the bird of the fence post and nailed him, after the arrow went through the bird another bird came flying by about 15yds behind the first bird and my arrow hit and killed that bird also.

I have 2 eye witness when this happened but i really did kill 2 birds with one shot.

That had to be a one and 10 billion shot.

That happened 24 yrs ago and my buddy still brings it up every time i see him.

Mouse...last year I was laying in bed when a mouse ran across my pillow.  I launched out of bed and grabbed my bow from the wall strung it and nocked an arrow.  
Now it was time to put jazz the great hunting cat to work.  The mouse had run under my door and out into the main room of my apartment.  I opended the door and sent jazz on the stalk.  She immediately sniffed the mouse out and crounched watching staring directly behind the sofa like a pointer.  I gave her a little nudge and she took off to flush our quarry.
The little beast came flying out from under the sofa and ran straight across the living room at no more than five feet.  I hit full draw and released sending an arrow right behind its shoulder. The blunt killed the mouse instantly and jazz was even nice enough to retrieve it for me....if only she could track deer

Rotted old fallen pine log 10 yds past the Tom I missed on Wednesday.  Oh wait, the bird was the trophy that I let slip away...
