[glenbo]

I never shot anything with an arrow but I did put a home made spear through my freezer.glen

[Broken Arrow 1]

Never because when I shoot a hole in the shed door I always just tell myself thats what I was aiming at!!!!!!!!

I picked up some hickory shafts and made some HEAVY arrows (900+ gr) just for fun. First shot out of a 55# ACS went thru my hay bale and halfway thru the side board of my wife's new wooden Vermont garden cart which was sitting innocently outside the shop. OUCH!        


Then it took 30 minutes to get the arrow out of the cart. I hid that cart for about a month then blamed it on rodents.

Had a complete pass through the front door once. It went through where the molding around the window mets the door. Could hardly tell.

I once sent a .38 round through a finished basement wall.

I just fired, cleaned, and reloaded my .38 revolver.  The trigger of this gun is butter smooth so ... one more pull before I put it away.  

Thankfully, it was pointed in a safe direction.  

What a startling experience.

The bar in my basement. I was trying to see if I could shoot from a sitting position and was shooting at a block target placed in front of the bar. Decided to move back a little. Bad decision. 12 yards, got good penetration. The arrow went through the wood front of the bar and just missed the stainless steel sink and pipes behind it. Thank God. The wife walked downstairs just as I was pulling the arrow. Ouch. The hole is still there.

When I was 8-9 yrs old (49 now) a friend and I were shooting my old fiberglass recurve (brand unknown) and ran out of arrows, I had an old dowel I wanted make into an arrow and so tried shooting it.  Well it splittered and put a pencil size sliver in my thumb, sticking out both sides.  My friend started to cry and my thumb went numb instantly so I just got scared. The doc pulled it out with a pair of pliers and I still have a little hump in my thumb nail. Been shooting bows ever since, thumbs, sheds, garden hose real, you name it!  lol   Great Thread You Guys!!

A number of years ago I was putting one of my Morrison bows through the chrono.  I was so impressed that I thought I'd compare an old wheelie bow.  Somehow the arrow ended up smack dab through the electronic part of the chrono - - surprise surprise!!  Still have it as a reminder.

during the winter when I was a boy, I was allowed to shoot inside the garage if it was real cold out. (It was a very large garage that was heated)  I must have shot through the door a dozen times. I don't shoot in the house much now...

About '85 (still my compound days) a buddy came over to my apartment to show me this new device he'd just bought.  I attached the thingy to my bowstring and pulled back, and apparently accidentally triggered the button on this release and sent an arrow into the paneling of my rental.     :eek:  

Probably a precursor of things to come as I went trad in '88 and ain't looked back since.

When I got my first longbow I took it out and was shooting at the deer I had set up in my back yard. My first shot skipped right over it's back and hit my dads brand new truck.      I thought I could pull it out and he might not notice but I ended up having to get him to pull it out. That was the best/worst christmas I have ever had..

"A few years ago (50+), when I was 8 or 9 years old my best buddy and I found a “real arrow” - an old cedar shaft with fletching remnants and a rusted target tip - that someone had lost in a brushy field we used to frequent. A quick trip to a willow bush and a length of cotton string from the kitchen drawer was all that was needed to complete our tackle. We soon became bored with trying to unsuccessfully hit anything with it but instead discovered the excitement of launching the arrow straight into the air and then running out from underneath it. We were thus enjoying ourselves in my friend’s backyard while the grumpy old guy next door who was always hollering at us for some supposed infraction was busy cutting his lawn we were supposed to stay off of. A slightly misdirected shot resulted in a trajectory that put the arrow directly over our unsuspecting neighbor. We watched frozen in our tracks as the arrow descended-- swiftly passing through a very small moving rectangle described by our neighbor’s body, forearms and lawnmower burying itself several inches into the soft turf. We were still motionless as he pulled the arrow from the ground, walked over to us, wordlessly snapped it in two pieces and presented us each with half an arrow, turned and resumed his mowing. Like I said a really grumpy old guy!"  

Steve, I want to hear more of your stories! I sure wish I could hear your grumpy neighbor's stories, too. He wasn't nearly as grumpy, or vocal, as I would have been!

The light switch in the living room. It took my wife 2 months to find it.

while shooting with friends I accidently hit my trailer on the side. I was shooting a arrow that was missing 1 fletch and it took off o me right into the house.
