Wooden frame on the screen for my living room picture window.  Pretty good penetration.  Ruined an arrow, but an inch to the left and I would've been replacing the window.  I also missed my bag target and hit the pile of dirt behind it.  When I pulled out my arrow I had impaled 2 baby field mice.  Looked like they were on a skewer, LOL!There must have been a nest in there.  It was my first trad kill!!!

In my old house, the shed, poured cement wall, shingles.  One arrow I yakked so bad it missed the wall entirely and went skittering out front and I lived in a developement with small yards.  I was scared stiff as I went out front expecting a dead neighbor.  I found the arrow across the street in a neighbor's yard.

I dead centered a cable tv cable at a friends house when we were shooting his 3d's from a ladder stand. The cable was strung about half way between the stand to the 3d target. The arc of the arrow caught the cable just right. His mom was home at the time watching tv.  She was wondering why the picture went all snowy!.........  Had to get the cable guy out to fix it.

Shed wall several times inside living room wall in the first house me and my wife ever rented I bet the point is still in that wall (with a compound).But my best story comes from my dad when he was a kid he and a friend snuck some of my grandpas hunting arrows out to shoot and this is where it gets bad they were shooting by each others feet as they often did (they called it chicken)   :knothead:  well there was ice on the ground and his friednd slipped he shot my dad right in the forehead luckily it only penetrated about a half inch.Dad said he looked up and the arrow was sticking straight out    :eek:  they pulled it out and dad hid the wound and never told until he was an adult.This was his go to do as I say not as I do story for me as a kid!  :dntthnk:Bill

Can't say the same for the arrow.

Almost shot my buddies decoy last weekend. Drew back to stretch the arms while in the stand. started to let down and away the arrow goes. Right over the top, thankfully. Cost me a broadhead as it was a direct hit on the only rock around. Oops.

Shooting in my garage at 10 pm.

Black Widow bow $800 plus
Carbon Heritage 150 arrow approx.$9
Black Hole target $40 (placed against closed garage door)
 
Not getting a complete passthrough of the arrow through garage door out into my neighborhood --PRICELESS.
 I dont shoot inside my garage anymore.
