Ever Lost an Arrow... in the NEIGHBOR'S yard?

[jacobsladder]

My first year with a wheelie bow ...i was practicing shooting broadheads in a straw bale in a subdivision. Shot one high and i knew the arrow went into the neighbors yard.....I about crapped when i saw the arrow embedded in their aluminum swing set   . They had 7 kids...no joke.....thankfully, they were not swinging.   :eek:

Nope...but it has nothing to do with skill. We are blessed to live on 14 acres and our nearest neighbor is about 1/4 mile away.

I find a few arrows with the feathers rotted off every year bushhogging. When I have a bunch of kids over it looks like a flock of turkeys took up residence behind their favorite targets

One time while cleaning gutters, I found an arrow stuck in my shake roof, luckily it was there and not in one of the kids. The neighbor saw me and waived, and I thought he recognized the arrow, so I said, did you loose this? The smile wore off and turned to a blank stare, he looked surprised, so I figured it must have been his oldest boy that launched it straight up.

I once had an arrow hit the top of a bale and sail into my neighbors backyard. Now I shoot into a target inside the garage.

Actually, when I was younger, our neighbor's arrow went over his hay bale and lodged itself into the rear quarter panel of my step fathers Suburu wagon. Luckily the side without the gas tank. The neighbor was a member of the local bow club, and he was razzed about that for many, many years.
