I was shooting in the house on a rainy day. It was a fairly new selfbow of unbacked osage with sapwood back that had pulled itself into extreme reflex while drying. It was a super smooth, super fast bow. It blew up at full draw, sent the arrow through the kitchen window and into the gutter across the street. It could have been really bad. I got the window fixed before my wife came home, and yes, I told her what happened.

Dont know that i want to share all my stories on this topic...lol. When i was little i taped up a picture of a deer on the window im my room, stepped back and nailed it! haha no more window.

Then one time i had a selfbow my dad made me when my mom was pregnant with me, and my grandma came over and said "o how cute, he cant shoot that can he?" apparently this ticked me off, dad said i pulled back, and parted her hair with an arrow. LOL she never doubted me shooting a bow again!!!

I had an old Black Hole I was using for a broadhead target and it was pretty shot-up. I had just gotten a new Palmer and wanted to see how it shot my hunthig arrows. The arrow went through the target and into my wife's one season old  Bridgesthone Blizzak snow tires. Thank goodness it was June and I replaced it before she knew about it.

Way back when I was in grade school, I received a 35 lb fiberglass longbow and 1/2 dozen arrows for Christmas. Man, was I hyped! I dress up and went hunting in the best place I knew: right in-between the apartment buildings we lived in.

I quickly spotted a big grey squirrel and took the shot. Just so happens that the night before it had snowed, then rained, then froze. My arrow missed the squirrel (of course) and skipped a few times and hit the lower portion of a neighbor's screen door with bang! I hid for a few minutes, and when nobody showed (it was still pretty early in the morning), I low crawled under several windows, retrieved my arrow, low crawled back out and called it a day.

Arm of sofa with broadhead.  Sewed it up before wife got home.  Nothing gets by her for long.  I tried pointing out my nice sewing job but she was not impressed.  Shed multiple times but that is my backstop.

Long time ago, Browning Micro youth wheelie bow...

Had 3 bales of hay stacked on each other and a target in front of it.  To the side by about 5 yards behind this was a parts car, 1973 MGB Roadster.  Pulled back as normal and released but didn't release where I wanted it...  The arrow missed the target and went right through the tail light of the car, traveled 6" past the tail light and sheetmetal and pucked the field tip in by about a 3/8" into the aluminum shaft.

Good thing it was a parts car...  BTW: it sucks to be a kid and have a first bow and camoflauged arrows, I think I spent more time trying to find the arrows in the grass than shooting them.

Around my place here, it seems like garden hoses are arrow magnets.  :dunno:

Almost forgot, watched Bowdoc shoot a tackle box in Canada one time! Thought he was shooting a Bucket, missed the bucket, didn't see the tackle box. You should have seen the look on his face when we heard the THWACK!  :clapper:

Alright, here's mine. Before I set up the formal range in my basement with a proper backstop, I have a hole in the wall, a bookshelf, a fan, and a crock pot. Haven't caught hell for any of 'em yet. No holes in the shed, but outside, I had an arrow break when it hit a rock, the tip went flying off somewhere and I heard a loud crack against the shed... haven't found that part of the arrow yet.

Funny stuff everyone! Getting old forgot the best one, my best friend and I were out hunting in the fall years ago and the neighbors cows had been out on my dads wheat field all the time.They wouldnt chase off so out comes the blunt and wack right between the eyes, off she goes, the next one is further away and as I release she trades ends and yep right up the poop shoot halfway to the fletch, Ouch! Took us 15 minutes chasing her around before she gave it up! He reminds me everytime we go by that field hunting!

I shot myself too when I was a kid.  Remember those red bows, duel shelf.  Well I had one and tried to shoot an ice chest.  The arrow bounced back and hit my lower lip.  Went inside and kinda tore up some gums.  Bad deal.  
I was trying to clean the blood out of my mouth and figured out that I could squirt water out of the hole.  Good deal.  Then the natural numbing you get when you hurt yourself went away. Bad deal.

God Bless,
Nathan
