I've got a buddy that was struggling with target panic and he drew on the power meter on his house cause he just knew that he wouldn't let go............target panic sucks!

I always took pot-shots at squirrels from my bedroom when I was a kid. One afternoon I opened up the window, strung up my K-Mag, nocked a Bear Razorhead, and loosed one on a big fat tree-rat. There was a weird sharp cracking sound and the arrow just missed the squirrel.

I had forgotten to open up the outer window too  :banghead:  and the broadhead had punched a jagged round hole right through it.

The door to a Highway Dept. truck that was parked behind my stockade fence. Thankfully the supervisor didn't make me pay for it but he got my vote at the last election. He's a "great" guy!

Nothing!  You always need to be sure of what is behind and around your target.  :rolleyes:  

Ok I will admit one. When I was a kid I was shooting arrows up in the sky to see how far they would go, and one came down into the swimming pool and through the pool cover.

My good Buddy was getting ready for a hunt behind His house one afternoon. Got all of his hunting clothes on and wanted to make sure he could draw his bow back with the extra sweater he put on.

He nocked a arrow and took aim at the light switch across the room in the kitchen. He was shooting one of the most decked out wheelie bows You ever saw. Well he made it to full draw but the extra large gloves he had on were just thick enough to set off his super-sensitive release.

It was one of the best shots I ever seen Him make. It took the very end off of the switch and drove about two inches of broadhead and shaft into the stud the switch box was mounted to. Luckily it was at enough of an angle that it didn't cut any wires.

The following year I had him all set up with a K-Mag and a tab.

I accidently shot a deer once.I was headed back to the truck,after a windy morning hunt.There was some place I had to be, later that morning.SO I had no intention of shooting anything I was just out to be out.Im easing along the edge of a CRP field toward the truck.All at once I see two little does walking throught the tall weeds right toward me.So I knelt down.I guess they did not see me because the wind blowing the tall weeds around.I always have an arrow on the string,when going in and out,for just such a situation.When the lead doe gets to around 5 yards,I think Im gonna see If I can get drawn on her (again no intention of shooting).Well I get drawn and the second I hit anker the arrow is gone.Imagine my surprise.The little deer did not make it 30 yards.WOOPS!OH well I did have a tag.

Shooting in my garage this summer i backed up and opened the doors so i could take a 20yd shot, i missed the target and shot a arrow into my man cave.

I have since solved that problem by making a really good back stop.

When I was a kid two of my brothers and I were out at night shooting at bats.

I think you can figure out what I hit.  

It only took 10 stitches to fix him good as new!  :o

First thing I ever shot was my truck tire.  :scared:    :help:  Just I was about to shoot our cat ran in front of the target, which made me flinch sending my arrow over the target and into the wall.  "[dntthnk]"
