Title: My wifes been trick shootin!
Post by: TURKEYFOOTGIRL on February 26, 2013, 09:20:00 PM
Last Friday my wife pulled out her longbow and started shooting in my shop. Her first shot was a bullseye! On her second shot I was watching her form and making sure she anchored real nice and when she let her rip she shot straight through my shop window and the arrow richoched off my truck windshield and ended up across the road in the neighbors field. Since her first shot was a bullseye i can only assume she was trying a trick shot or something??? Wonder if Byron ever did that one??

Did you make suggestion to her, about her form, as she loosed that second shot?

I would have been in fits of laughter at that one,  my wife said that's one reason she married me, cause I tend to laugh at stuff like that and not get mad.

Now, that's funny, right there...since it glanced off the truck windshield and didn't get two windows for the price of one...

That is one impish smile she's got going on.

One observation: MOVE THE TRUCK!

If one rides by my house, you will notice that my garage window has been replaced with a chunk of plywood. I did hit the penny first. Good thing my garage door was closed on the other end of the garage. I would either move your target or invest in plywood.

Now it is your turn to show off...I bet you cannot bounce one off the sofa, off the frig door, and into the microwave...

Been there, done that! You know, her thought process was something like "don't hit the window, don't hit the window, don't hit the window.....awwww crap!  :thumbsup:

Heck-of-a-shot  

Might want to move the bag to the left a little. It's a easy fix on the window though.

I should talk, my 9 yd indoor basement range has my 200 amp service panel and off peak elec service panel 2' above my target. I used to shoot in my garage, the ovhd has taken 3 hits,actually holes, a little wht caulk and all is good.

Ya it was pretty funny all right.  She's shooting a 40@28 Kota Kabekona.  Whips an arrow out real nice.   Good thing she wasn't shooting one of her Sharks it probably would have been buried in my truck seat. Lol

You didn't try to "grunt" at the target to get it to stop for her did you? I seem to remember that causing a problem one other time...
Title: Re: My wifes been trick shootin!
Post by: Steiger3208 on February 27, 2013, 09:43:00 PM
Is that  the "big horn" series truck that she was shooting at? That's going to be hard to mount on the wall. LoL

I hate when that happens !   :banghead:

Move the target away from breakable things !

LOL. Nice bow too. If you have pictures of the bow, please post it in the "Aggressive RD longbow appreciation thread". I would love to see it.

Next time my wife is about to shoot, I will try this....

"Honey, that bow makes you look fat"

Wonder where the arrow will go, then?

This should earn you a few "get out of jail free" points.  Just be sure you use them soon, they are known to expire...

Sorry Deathmaster it will take more than a arrow to kill a FORD!  different trick this time Blaster, I guess I should just learn to shut up and let her shoot.
