My mouth! Sometimes not an accident. . .

Bears can attack people- although fewer people have been killed by bears than in all WWI and WWII combined.

This is awesome! I had some great laughs!

So far I think my favorites are the ones with barnyard animals (a couple goat stories and a couple cow stories)

Maybe my wife is right when she says I shouldn't draw my bow towards the apartment next door when I'm checking out my draw length in the mirror. I don't trust the bathroom tiles to stop my arrow.

I've only been shooting a bow for a couple years now, so I haven't accumulated a lot of stuff... yet! (knock on wood) So far just some fence posts (my uncle wasn't too happy when I buried a head in his brand new fence).

When I was little I shot my glass backboard for my basketball hoop with a slingshot. Didn't hurt it the first few times, then I REALLY drew it back and put a nice crack in it that only spread with time.

Also had a blowgun that I would shoot around the house. I didn't think I'd get that much penetration and I shot my sister's hair spray bottle. That went whizzing around everywhere. I think it was a little sticky in there for a while...

I have had three. One was me trying to shoot three under and I lifted the arrow off the shelf.  Missed my garage and stuck the arrow between the the second floor windows of my house.
Back in 1966, they were turning highway 75 into a four lane through town.  I wanted to see if a long skinny four blade with a nylon ferrule could penetrate as good as a Bowlo.  I taped up a Sears catalog, propped it up with a stick and paced off 24 yards.  I stuck one of each into the catalog, they must have made catalogs big in those days.  I set it all back straight and a real know it all cement truck driver from Sioux City, walked over and informed me that a real man holds the bow back for three seconds and that I was a snap shooter because I let go in one second.  I handed him my bow and a target arrow, he missed.  I handed him another arrow, he missed again and declared my Pearson Gamester a piece of chunk.  He left.
I shot the Bowlo again, thunk into the catalog.  Then I shot the four blade, the catalog was leaning back a bit.  The arrow jumped into the air, flew over the high lines that ran down the alley, 30 yards past my target.  I panicked, oh no it is going to land on Mean Oldlady Vamorrow's house.  No wait it may be short.  Oh no! MOV is going into her house, she will see it.  
Right when she was closing her aluminum door, the arrow hit the cross bar of her clothesline.  Chink bang, the arrow was sticking four inches under the glass, in her aluminum door.  I raced up to pull it out and door opened and she looked around and closed the door.  I gained a few more yards and the door opened again, this time she saw the arrow and about had a stroke.  I told her how it all happened, she was so relieved that I was not trying to shoot her that she said "accidents will happen."  She did not want me to fix the door, but that broadhead hole remained for twenty years until someone else owned the house.
 The third one?  Let's just say that 1968 Chevy Impalas that are parked clear across a large gravel parking lot can hold a lot of gasoline, and they can pee like a cat for twenty minutes when you hit 'em right.

Nothing personally, but my brother in-law was trying my recurve and he must have been pinching the knock pretty bad because just as he released the arrow swung off the shelf and zip..................right into the side of my jetboat!!   The funny thing was, the boat had a cover on it and the arrow appeared to be burried up to the flectch in my boat, but after close inspection it went into the cover, just scratched the boat and slid down the side, no damage.

When I was in the Navy I sold a bow to a friend, in the barracks, well he really wanted to shoot it so I pulled out a phone book and laid it on the floor. I went to shoot it to "show" him how haha missed and put the arrow half way into the floor!!! Couldn't pull it out so I cut it off and glued carpet over it on my floor... Then I thought, what about the guy below me!!! Went knocking and sure enough there was arrow sticking out of the ceiling!!! Cut it and put putty up... Had to bribe everyone with lots of beer not to say anything, I could have got a article 15 lol haha...
