[b.glass]

Tire on the cart that hauls my husbands soybean head.    
He was pretty cool about it though. He's a pretty cool guy.

I was 16 and shooting in my basement. I missed and hit the water main pipe that feeds my dad's 6 family house!! They were shut down for a few hours!!

Never shot indoors again!! LOL

This thread is too funny! It also helped me recall a couple of Funny shots of my youth. We used to shoot Arrows from my neighbors yard high into the air up the hill towards my dad's barn. I aimed high to let one fly and proceeded to shoot right thru an electric line and the arrow penetrated 1/2 way. That arrow stayed embedded in the line for a number of years, and I often wondered what the lineman would have thought when he came upon it. Another time I shot a squirrel with a field tip, the squirrel ran up a tree and as me and a friend went to check it out, the arrow fell out of the squirrel and landed, flething up, right between me and my friend who were about 2 feet apart. Crazy times of our youth!

A couple of years ago I tried to convince a guy to get into trad archery, but he went into compounds instead.  A few days after he got all tricked out, I got a call:

"Hey, about how far will an arrow go?"  

He had shot an arrow NOT ONLY over his target, but also over the neighbor's house behind him, in the middle of a suburban neighborhood.  He never found the arrow, and never heard a word from anyone.  God was certainly watching out for him.

Neiborhs fence, grage door, plastic garbage can, another door, shed, wall?

neighbors rotten feral cat....you did say accidentaly  

[Buckeye Trad Hunter]

Let's see, shed door, not on a miss but on a soft spot in a target, shed door again, on a miss, uncles building, uncles dog house on a ricochet off the building, which almost got his goat, same day my uncle shot through the wall and shot his tractor tire.

It's ironic how I laughed at some of the accidentals posted on this thread...yesterday.
Well today I decided to add some height to my 4X4 foam target, so I took one of our dining room chairs to the backyard and placed the target on the seat(you know where this going). I shoot split finger and decided to shoot the first arrow three under from 20 yards and I promptly center punched the face of the chair directly underneath the seat. I can assure you I'm on the wife's "S" list. Lesson learned-good intentions can go south in a hurry.

I have been fortunate, but my old roomate pulled a good one.
We were practicing in the back yard..he missed the target; arrow went through the shed door and into the lawnmower tire.

Although I've never done it personally, I can't hold it against anyone for shooting a cat!

[J-dog]

most anything but the wife daughter or dog. Though I am uncertain of the dogs future when daughter gets her Christams present?????????

I made a friend really suck up his big belly one time as he stepped out of a blind spot (open doorway, he knew we were shootin!) into the alley way that weused to shoot our bows down at the archery shop. His nickname fo rme these days is Geronimo. That coulda been a quit guttin. Man that arra hit right in front of his belly button.

[J-dog]

Neighbors kitties can be felonies - I would nto know a thing about this.

[superkodiak]

I have a washer that we still use.... poor thing looks like swiss cheese, not because I miss, but because I was too cheap to buy a good target and used it as a backstop. =)

[Randy Koleno]

Gee, and all I did was put a few holes in the walls.

[Randy Koleno]

No, really, that's all I did.

Some great comments so far


I hit the tire on my Landlords grain wagon

[cecilm]

I shot in the basement until I finished it, any way I had gotten a 80# longbow and took three shots in to my bale target with it; throught boy this thing really shoots these cedars; went to pull them out all three went thru the bale thru the 5/8" bulitrite and thru the siding;; New house unhappy wife.

[straitera]

The good news is, out of 28K membership, 27.8K have killed something they shouldn't have. Lots more fessin up folks. Let's have it.

Did similar 80# bow/arrow through target thing through beautiful wood panel. That's a helpless feeling of stupid folks.

[Flesner]

I sympathize with the .38 special in the house post. I did a .44 mag in a small bedroom once. That is a real immpressive noise right there!

I'm a lot easier to sneak up on these days because of it.

Huh, What'd you say?

[soopernate]

Once centerpunched the main PVC line that supplies irrigation water to our entire subdivision...with a three blade broadhead no less.
