I realized I must have been just clearing the compost bin with my target tips and the broadhead blade stuck down just low enough so I clipped the bin (red line with circle around it) causing my arrow to veer to the left and go through the back canopy window of the boat (Y with red circle), where the fletch caught the plastic whipping the arrow to the right and up and out through the top of the canopy (leaving a six inch tear). To add insult to injury, I still haven't been able to find the arrow in the salal (it should be sticking straight up but the salal is up to 6' tall in that area).
Bleh, I need to rethink my range.....

At least you didn't hit the Bronco.

Dang, that's like something I would do. :bash:
At least you didn't hit the Bronco.
I'd prefer the Bronco had a hole in it....

At least it didn't go through the windshield. It would have been awesome if it had ricocheted off the bin, the side of the boat, and hit the target.

Yeah, glad I could make someone smile... :tung:As I was reading along and following the visuals I half expected "and the arrow still found it's way to the target" as the punchline. :chuckle:

Here's one to make you laugh....My boys 14 & 15 were out shooting, the 15 year old is very good, 14 struggles at times....they were shooting at the 3d target in front of the main target, 3 arrows each. Of course the older ones arrows are all in the kill zone, the 14 year old had 1 that went high and was stuck in the main target. The older one starts to give the the younger one crap about how he needs to practice more etc, typical brotherly love. He then pulls out his brothers but he leaves his arrows in the 3d target for his younger brother to admire, (nice guy that he is)....he then goes to pull the one arrow that went high out of the main target. He gives the arrow a big yank and his elbow smacks the 3d deer in the head and it falls over breaking his arrows..... :chuckle:....I guess that KARMA for you....

Yeah, glad I could make someone smile... :tung:That reminds me of a buddy from Nebraska who was shooting his bow with his brother when a feral cat walked into the adjacent planted wheatfield. His brother bet him $50 he couldn't hit the cat. Sooo ... he grossly underestimated the range, his arrow hit the ground half way to the cat ...
At least it didn't go through the windshield. It would have been awesome if it had ricocheted off the bin, the side of the boat, and hit the target.
skipped ...
hit the ground 3/4 of the way to the cat ...
skipped ...
and center-punched the cat.
They paced it off at 160 yards.

Sorry lokidog that sucks, but thanks for posting. It sure made me laugh.
Yeah, yeah, Weathergirl can't figure out why I'm not more POed about it. Just another excuse to build a hard top for the boat.
And, I'll have the last laugh from my tent in the YUKON in two weeks... life is mostly good! :chuckle:

As long as there are no compost bins around, I'll be fine! 8)
