what have you shot at home accidentlly

[saltwatertom]

Over 50 years of shooting there's too much to list everything, but some highlights are, the side of the garage(with a broadhead, when my dad was inside working, scared me silly, I never did tell on myself), 4 wheeler tire, a bouy ball we use a a swing, bird feeder post (3/4 inch dia steel) cows (and no, I won't tell more about that), the 1/4 inch electric rope we use as a fence for the horse (how a field point can hit dead center and bounce back off of something that small is beyond me, and numerous times! from 40 yards!) My wife shot the garden hose just  a few days ago too. There may be more, but the statute of limitations isn't up yet on those.

My ground blind has a few extra holes in it just below the window.

I've had an arrow go thru a 3/8' sheet of plywood and then partially (split on the edge) thru a board on a privacy fence and clatter out into a public street.
I probably hit an old hole in the plywood.
I have since screwed a sheet of 3/4" plwood to the fence and have a big sheet of dense foam behind my target to keep from hitting the plywood in the first place.
I shoot a little better now, too. That helps!

Now I know why most municipalities have laws against shooting bows in town.

Shooting down in basement one time, about 8 yards, shot the furnace,  hit my dads shed another time. And one time when i was struggling with target panic(still am) i was doin good.. or so i thought. so i seen a rabbit down at the end of the yard, i wa thinkin perfect test... well i sneak up draw on it to hold and just let down to reasure myself how im doin with my panic and well as soon as i hit anchor the panic hit and the arrow was on its way! oh crap... yep nailed that baby. but felt terrible cause i could not conrol my actions and killed that animal not wanting to, never again will i do that.

When i was a teenager i stuck a broadhead tipped arrow in the neighbors swing set once..... I knew i missed the bales of straw.... when i was looking for the arrow i looked across the fence and my arrow was sticking out of the post in the swing set....i quickly scaled the fence..retrieved the arrow and my mom caught me coming back over the fence with it... that was the last time i practiced in the back yard !!!!

Back when I was shooting wheel bows I was checking the draw length of te bow by standing on the string and pulling up. I wanted to know how much arrow was sticking out past the arrow at full draw. So I put an arrow on the string and stood on the string as I pull up on the bow.  The string slipped off my foot and the arrow shot me in the clavicle.  Lucky for me it did not have a tip on the insert and left a 1/4 hole in my shirt and did not penetrate my skin or break my clavicle.  This was done with an 80LB cam bow.

Things I have shot while shooting in yard/house.

Shot a hole in the radiator of Dad's truck. Arrow skipped off the top of the target Dad made us, turned about 45 degrees and "Plonk" One radiator.    

While trying out my "new" bamboo shafts with my composite bow, and a new thumb ring, let one go "off to the right" right into the concrete basement wall! Those bamboo shafts are tough! splintered the last 3" of shaft-otherwise shaft was alright.   :eek:  

Poked a hole in the side of my chest freezer, luckily didn't hit the cooling coils. (Nearly shot a deer twice, there)

Carbon shaft into the same concrete wall mentioned above. Compound bow and a release that broke under tension. Carbon shaft didn't survive. . . at all.

And multiple hits on the "safety backstop" of my target butt. This thing kills most every arrow that it has to stop.  4' x 8' sheet of 3/8" armalloy steel. There are NO pass thrus!        

And then there was the living room light . . . .but that was a 7 iron!

This was'nt trad.But it was freakie.Along time back 25 years maybe.A bunch [10 maybe] of us was shooting in this guys yard.When a guy shot and arrow[broadhead] it went through the corner[side] of the bail.It hit a propane tank off a lantern it was full.It started spinning off the ground about a foot for a few seconds.Took off arching up about 10 feet comeing down about 30 yards away.Toward his wifes car is old cur dog was laying about 5 yards from the car.
  He hear it whistling toward him.He almost got out of the way but it nicked him in the tail.Bounced off the wifes door of her fairly  new Dodge car.Leaveing a basketball size dent in the door.Bounce back went under the car and went up and down a couple times before it ran out of propane.
  We all just stood there with our mouths open.Before we busted out laughing.When we stoped we started realizeing we were closer than the car was and it happened so fast no could have gotten out of the way in time.

Missed by that much!!!

If I open my back door and shoot from my den i can get 30 yards as long as the door jam doesnt jump in my way.

I shot an arrow right between my dog's legs when I was in high school.  I had a big 100 lb dalmation at the time and when I'd shoot, he'd stay right beside me pretty much the whole time.  My dad drove up and the dog goes to say hello.  He followed dad inside as I continued to shoot.

 I was shooting at a bag of wood chips from a bunch of different distances.  I moved back to about 60 yards and shot a few arrows. Right as I let loose on one, I see the dog run out from behind the tractor, which was about 20 yards from my target.  He was running to where I had been earlier and was on a direct line between my arrow and the target.

I remember it like it was in slow motion.  This big goofy dog loping across the yard; an arrow speeding toward the target.  My heart was in my throat and I was thinking I've just killed my buddy.  Fortunately my shot was low.  It hit in front of the target and right between his legs.  If it had been a foot or so higher, I'd have shot him through the guts.

I made sure he was tied up after that.
