I was shooting judos in the yard. My in-laws garage  plenty far away, or so i thought. Shot and hit a flat stone at surface level of ground,hidden by grass,saw sparks and the arrow  skipped up like the darn thing was shot again and made a direct hit on in-laws garage with brand new siding. It was like something that would make you laugh in a good comedy, but I was dumbfounded at the time. I wish I could have seen the look on my own face!

Like Bretto, a friend has his girlfriend practicing in the backyard with a wheelie and she punched the release and shot his mom's new buick in the from fender! Daughter shot a cat when she missed the backstop this fall, auger, auger tire, grain bins, before big backstop years ago!

I grew up in a real small town in Indiana. it only had around 150 people total, no gas stations, no restruants, and only one stop sign.

We did have a nice baseball diamond about 1/2 mine north of town. There was an old abandoned railroad tracks running from behind our house up past the ball diamond, this was the area we wondered and shot stuff when we were kids.

When I was 12 or I had been wandering the old rail road tracks shooting at a little bit of everything when ended up out by the center field fence of the ball diamond and flushed a covey of quail. By the time I got an arrow nocked they were real high and about 20 yards out but I let one fly. I missed of course but watched the arrow sail all the way across the field into the roof of the blechers on the home side!

Strangely enough almost 30 years later that arrow is still sticking through the roof of the bleachers!

And no I never did admit it was mine until now!

My friend shot my garden hose.It was about 5 yards in front of the target! He had a bad habit of dropping his bow arm! We both rolled on the ground laughing.

My shot glanced off  the top of my hay bail a few weeks ago . Told my wife I had another lost arrow (she's good at finding them) I came home and found a large tree branch in my room with my arrow in it

We were shooting winter league in the basement of an office building.  The ceiling(floor of the main office space) was built with concrete beams stretching across the width of the basement.  One of the wheelie bow shooters had a new release,  well, you guessed it, he drew with the bow pointed up at about 45 degrees and as he started down, he hit the trigger on the release,  the arrow went straight ahead, hit the concrete beam and bounced straight back and hit him between the eyebrows.  Two little cuts from the nock started a meager blood trail to the bathroom.  He yelled at the rest of US for breaking his concentration.
I have a copy of Luther's Works on by book shelf that has a hole in the bindings-I think they come that way. It is  not a Holey book.

I have definitely buried my share into trees, even a judo head or two. Also, when re-fletching some arrows for a friend, I tested one into the basement target. But I hit a soft spot in the target, and shattered the arrow when it hit the concrete on the pass through. OOooops, time to get a new target.

The best dinger shot I remember happened many years ago, when our neighbor shot my stepfather's Suburu. His arrow skipped off the top of the hay bale in his yard, through our yard, and into the rear quarter panel of one of our cars. It took many years before his bow club quit teasing him about that shot.

I nailed a 5 quart plastic jug of oil.  Lucky for me it was about an inch above the oil line.  Now I don't have to tip it as far~  :D
