I once hit a canning jar of taco sauce, shattered all over the place.

I regularly throw these little 6"x 6" blocks of laminated foam around the yard and one day while out shooting them. I missed one and had my arrow hit the ground and I swear in slow motion watched my arrow skip off the ground and puncher one of my brand new tires on my enclosed motorcyle trailer. Darn I just put them on that thing! Ha Ha live and learn..

Just my fence when shooting outside and some walls while shooting inside. I almost shot my business partner when he tried to move the barriers I had set up to keep people from getting into the hallway of our office where I was shooting. He never made that mistake again!    :scared:

At denton hill last year my buddy skipped one right off the back of a pig target and up onto the highway.  I think its RT 6?  Luckily it didnt hit a car but still scary.  

I had a scary moment at that shoot too.  I put one off the belly of a doe target, and then it hit a rock and took off straight up in the air towards the ski lift.  I went looking for my arrow, and someone on the ski lift yelled and pointed it out to me.  It was sticking straight in the ground about 15 yds from the ski lift.  It was absolutely a crazy double ricochet that led to it but I will not be taking any shots in that direction next year.

New tire on truck, Bass boat. Friend shot me in leg once by accident, Rabbit hunting. My brother and i got in a argument over who shot the target better,when pulling out arrows he shot me in the butt, not by accident. Good thing for Wrangers.

A book in the bookcase, when I was a kid, but it wasn't an accident. I just had to try that Bear broadhead! Don't remember which book it was... Mom never noticed.

Used to be in an IBO club. One of the wheelie shooters slipped while drawing, with the bow pointed up at about 45 degrees. The arrow sailed over a stand of timber to the road about 100 yards away, and center-punched the door of the only car going by the area. The driver was not amused.

I've got 14 yards in my basement from corner to corner if I shoot through the spare bedroom doorway on an angle. I have a 160" buck next to the doorway whose chin I have to shoot under. Two years of shooting every day finally caught up with me this week. I did a flinch beyond all flinches and shot him in the throat. It stuck into him just like a 3D target.......I was a little disappointed with the penetration!!!

I bought a wheelie bow for my oldest son and he wanted me to try it out for him. I don't know squat about wheelies and don't want to, but I shot a few arrows at my foam target. I wasn't sure which pin to use. Apparently I picked the wrong one because I whacked the folding stool I had the target sitting on. It hit the metal leg attachment piece just right and snapped a nice carbon arrow right in half.

I put the damn thing in the case and haven't touched it since. He's going to have to figure it out for himself.

My daughter is right handed and left eye dominant. Once in a while that left eye takes over and she launches one past the target, past the 4 x 8 plywood and carpet backstop, and into the garage wall. The dog kennel used to sit behind that wall, so the holes didn't show. The dog died, so we gave the kennel away...then I had to explain to the wife how those holes got there.

Once, when I was a kid...long, long ago...I was out stump shooting in my grandpa's timber. All I had at the time were some cheap wooden arrows of unknown spine with field points on them and my 45# recurve that I had built in shop class a few weeks before during my freshman year in high school. It was in the spring, so I was hunting mushrooms and stumping along when a cottontail jumped up and ran up the hill in front of me. I drew on him with no intention of shooting because it was obviously out of season, and he was quickly way beyond my "effective" range. He stopped about 40 yards away and suddenly an arrow was arcing through the air. It smacked him right in the back of the head! I could probably fling arrows until doomsday and never duplicate that shot. I don't know whether it was lucky or unlucky, but I think I was more surprised than the rabbit was.

My face. I was shooting blunts for the first time ever. I shoot at a big ol haystack with hay criss crossed on it and I hit the end of a bale (where it is really tightly packed) and the arrow flew back and hit me in the face because I was shooting from around 10 yards. Luckily it missed my eye but I did take a nock to the forehead...

my brother accidentally ended the life of one of their chickens that he was"practice drawing" on (don't tell his wife) the good news is he said he smoked it at 30 yards
