Really embarassed to admit it but when I was but a young lad I received an all fiberglass longbow .Probably a bear or pearson . I had to shoot it and what could be more fun than shooting straight up ! ( I've since learned ) I was in the local park shooting when a person on a bike rode by as the arrow was coming down. It hit his rear tire !! I was relieved and scared out of my pants all at the same time ! now I only shoot into targets with backstops but that still cant save the occasional fence board .

When i was younger, maybe 10 or so, my dad and i would shoot from the patio to a straw bale about 100 yards back across a little ditch in our backyard.  Beyond that bale was our big barn and the electric cable ran in front of the bale back towards the powerline/house. One day we were shooting and i asked him, "Our arrows are getting awfully close to hitting that wire on the downfall." his respnse was, "It seems close but theres no way will hit that in a million shots"  No joke about 5 arrows later i released and the air lit up with a mini-explosion.  The arrow had hit the wire and been re-shot by the firepower.  Thankfully the line was all good but the fild tip was completely melted.  Scary what that split second could do to a metal point

Put one heck of a shot on a gas meter with my first compound at 13.  First shot out of the bow!  That tought me to be a little more aware of where I put the target!  Other than that just the boring old fence or two with my first recurve.  Got a new ACS yesterday and I dont see how you can miss with that thing.  Never shot such a fine bow.  Fast smooth and quiet.  New carbon riser a little light but you cant hear the shot!!!

Hmmm, used to shoot a lot in the fire station I work at. We had a bag target leaning against the back bay door. Its funny, there are a couple of very large screws in the door in places you woulddn't think they were needed!

One evening I was out in the truck bay shooting, with my target bag leaning again a rack of fire hose. I shanked a shot and stuck an arrow in a 100' roll of 4" diameter hydrant hose. I simply pulled the arrow out and put an Out of Service tag on the roll, and wrote on the the tag "Leaks". OOS.
...stood alone on a montaintop, starin out at a great divide, I could go east, I could go West, it was all up to me to decide, just then I saw a young hawk flyin and my soul began to rise......

Learned you do not shoot a BHd arrow that is bent with no fletch!

I was at a camp ground, bowhunting Pungo many yrs ago. Found an arrow in the ground that had an old BHd on it and no fletch and was aluminum that was bent a little.

I told my friend I will just fire this thing off in the corn field. It proceeded to do a long curve heading back through the campground - to say the least I was puckered. I mean what do you yell??:???? DUCK! or FOUR!!!!!!!! This thing looked like a bad cruise missile.

Luckily God was looking out for me and especially the rest of the campers and this thing nose dived into the ground. gotta have that steering mechanism on the back end!

my push mower!.....a 700 gr 2219 will go through a 1/2 inch plywood shed wall and imbed into a lawn mower....you really dont need EFOC if you shoot heavy arrows.
Bowhunting is "KILL and EAT" not "Catch and Release".....Semper Fi!

Nothing for myself but my buddy shot the corner of his house right thru the brand new siding he had just paid for. At the time it was funny, not so much now. Frank

Used to shoot in the house a lot. I could get 14yds if I shot from the back of the couch thru the dining room and out to the kitchen. I had a 2" foam broadhead target and a down pillow for a back stop. I once had a field point go through both and had just enough uumphf to crack the blender. Cindy(wife) went to make marguiritas a couple days later and poured in all the mixers and turned to get ice, looked back and it was running all over the counter!! Needless to say she made me move all stuff out of the way, but still let me shoot in the house. Shawn

Once when i was still shooting a compound( and about 14/15) i had my release go off while pulling back my compound bow. I looked and looked for that arrow for a couple hours.
 Next day i got called to the principals office ( high school was very close to my house) and was asked if the arrow he found in his rad was mine!!! It( the arrow) had bounced off our garage roof and managed to travel about 100 yds and lodge itself into my priciples car  freaking radiator!!
 Not too surpisingly, i was in some serious poop!!!!   ;)    Bill

Had one go through the bag target, then through garage door, and end in the radiator of my truck.
