well fortunatly   :goldtooth:  and unfortunatly not much of my own stuff. I have had plenty of arrows end up on neighbors roofs. Luckily I only shoot blunts when Im not shooting at a target. I did bury and arrow in the neighbors garage. The reason I only shoot blunts now when I'm not shooting at a target. Plenty of squirells in my back yard. I wish my neighbors boxer that never stops barking. My own shed.I think that covers the majority. Maybe I sould stop trying to shoot the squirells out of the trees. LOL Nah it keeps them on there toes.

My friend was trying out my curve @ about 4-5 yrds from a 1 yrd target, managed to shoot over and deflect even higher from the sloped roof on my garage! The arrow landed three houses down, on someones lawn.. Luckily no one was hurt, and it was the last shot he tried that day!

My friend and I were shooting in the basement many years ago.  I shot through the target ( it was just a blanket hung over a rope) and poked a hole in the gas meter.  Yep, the part that had the gas in it. Gas was comming out and we couldn't turn the valve to shut it off.  Spent some time with my finger over the hole until the repair man got there and shut the valve. Had to put in a new meter also.
My mom said we could shoot in the basement anymore. That led to the arrow stuck in the neighbors house.

Years ago I was shooting by the barn.  My girlfriend came home while I was fixing something on the bow so I didnot see her pull in.  Went back to shooting, passed through the bales and centerpunched the door on a brand new Subaru she had parked out back to Surprise me.  We were both surprised.

Well, I didn't actually "shoot" anything but.....

When I was a kid, I was stringing an old recurve using the "step through" method. The upper limb snapped clean off and the other 2/3rds of the bow "shot" between my legs and went right through the picture tube of the TV.

My Dad was NOT very happy when he got home!!!   :mad:      :knothead:

(neither was I,come to think of it)  :rolleyes:
I only shoot WOOD arrows... My kid makes them, fast as I can break them!

There is a fine line between Hunting, & Sitting there looking Stupid...

May The Great Spirit Guide Your Arrows..... Happy Hunting!!!

Well,I actually shot something of my dad's.I had to teach myself archery.In about 1956 when I was ten,I shot my dad's  big solid wood mahagandy Zenith radio/record player with my new fiberglass bow and arrow.The arrow bounced straight back at me.I will keep that tube radio forever as a reminder of my understanding father.He never even let on but the sizeable hole was right by the handle on the front and he couldn't have missed it.I lived in fear every day,though.

97 Taurus Quarter panel. Also the rear tire.
Was shooting up a bank with the car on top and 2 arrows skipped off the target and went up. Never did that again

My wife and I were shooting in the back yard last fall. (she's new to archery). The cat walked past the target and stopped. I guess the wife thought the cat was far enough past and let fly. Center punched the cat. My first reaction was "why the hell did you do that!"
My second was "nice shot!!" Never did like that cat. My wife cried for hours and swore off shooting but she's shooting again and the kids still don't know what really happened to the cat.

Back @ 85 when I was piplining I had a foam target set up out side the motel we stayed in well low and behold the folks that owned the motel had a cat that was using my target for a shade/ hidey hole, one evening after work when I got ready to take a few shots, well you can imagine the rest, I had to move to another motel.

I was shooting in my basement when I was a kid and I missed the target and hit the downstairs closet door.  Unfotunately, the downstairs closet is where my mom had hidden the Christmas presents.  I ruined an Atari game system my brother and I were supposed to get.  :banghead:

In the 6th grade Corey Briner (surely he isn't a TradGanger?) and I were shooting arrows straight up and then running under them with a ceral box to catch them.  It was a lot of fun (adults must have been busy).  We retired from this sport when Corey caught one in the back of his hand. It didn't stick but it left a nasty divit. Oh, we're lucky it was (at least I was lucky) Corey's hand because we lived in a subdivision crowded with houses on 1/4 acre lots!

I hope there aren't any impressionable kids reading this tuff ... what am I saying, from the posts it appears we are still quite impressionable kids!

I have another but it doesn't involve arrows and I only tell it during Leap Years.
