Freakiest accident
« on: August 07, 2012, 12:04:00 PM »
I was practicing over the weekend with a 3d target. I did not realize how worn out my target actually was. Even with the backstop made of 8 layers of thick carpet and the garage door. This happened.

The arrow went through the 3d target, a worned spot in the carpet backstop. But here is the freakiest part, it somehow rotated just right to squeeze through the 1/2 inch horizontal slats on my garage door — the garage door was closed and 2 feet directly behind the backstop — and embedded itself in my fridge's door, 15 feet away. Thank God I was home alone.

Great shot! I can't imagine explaining that one to my better half. Thats a good idea guys lets help out Wayne with some stories he can tell his wife.

Take a round rock and throw it through the kitchen window. Then stick a steak knife in the hole in the fridge. Tell her all you can figure it with the meteor came through the window it must have hit the knife that you had laid on the edge of the counter and shot it into the fridge.

That will discourage folks from opening the fridge door and just standing there looking for that special leftover.

just put some electrical tape over it and then a refrigerator magnet. When it gets noticed a few months from now just say "Huh, I wonder how that happened...."

I would love to comment, but my wife has been in Boston for a week, and I am busy hiding stuff I wrecked while she was gone. Do you guys know how quickly a heated broadhead melts through a linoleum floor?

Thank goodness the beer was unharmed.
Or, was there any left?
