Guest TennesseeTurkey Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 Thanks for clearing that up. I was wondering what in the heck a black bear was doing in mid air, and why you were shooting at it with a flu-flu. All sorts of confused, I was! HB lol same here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PA_Spike_King Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 When I was very young I got one of those fiberglass bows for kids (arrows with the suckshin cups) and decided to take one of my dads real arrows and shoot it into the sliding glass door of our house. LOL I don't remember if I got in trouble or not. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strut10 Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 When I was 11, my parents were having a new house built. I was goofing around with my (first bow) 25# Indian fiberglas semi-recurve. The contractor wanted to know if I was any good with it. I told him I was. He took off his hat and gave it a wail. He said, "There. Hit that". I put a hole straight through it. Another time, I was practicing in the yard. I was using hay bales as a backstop. An arrow went through the bale and straight through a poor toad who was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mossyhorn Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 Had a buddy break up with his girlfriend once. He had some stuff of thier in his car. He comes to the house while I was shooting and her picture album became a target. Several arrows later we decided a bow wasnt doing enough damage so we break out the 12 guage. Well she happened to visit that evening to see my wife and the cover of the album had fallen under the steps. Thats the first thing she seen when she got there. By the way they got married 3 months later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorden Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 I too have tried shoot my bow straight up into the air. I did it in the middle of my yard which is surrounded by open fields. It must have caught a passing plane cause I never did find it:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveHawk Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 Turtle Hunter Bowfishing is another passion of mine. So, I'm standing on the bank of this small creek waiting for carp to surface when a large snapping turtle rears his ugly head. Hmmmm.....why not? I take the shot.....HIT !!! now what? I've got a really ticked off snapper that probably weighs 25 pounds on the end of my line, and he is biting the crap out of my fishing arrow. Only got about 7" of penetration at the base of his neck. Does anyone out there know how to kill a mad snapping turtle? Let me warn you, It's difficult to say the least. I drug him out on the bank and we had quite a battle, until I was able to grab my arrow and turn it enough to release the sting-a-ree point. He crawled back into the creek never to be seen again. Glad that was over, won't do that again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slash Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 About 2 days after I bought my bow I was at the farm with a new BLOCK target set up in the driveway. Behind it about 80 yds is the barn. Well I flung a couple arrows into the target and was feeling pretty confident, but for some reason I was shakey, don't know if i was nervous or what, but somebody pulled into the driveway and drove up to the barn door to pick up some corn. I was only about 10yds from my target so I didn't think anything of it, and let another arrow go :hammer1::hammer1::hammer1::hammer1: The next sound I hear is the sound of my arrow hitting the barn door, about 2 feet to the left of the customers front tire. The guy came out, looked at the arrow and went back inside. I was so embarassed I didn't even go get the arrow, I just grabbed my target and went in the house. Dumbest thing I've shot with my bow no doubt, aside from the skunk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBow Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 skunk While shooting a field round with my tournment (28lbs) bow and alum target arrows came upon a skunk in broad daylight,sooooooooo after not much thought I let fly with arrow, yep! got him and he got me. OH YAAAAAA! Now I remember my dumbest shot! Funny how you put those stupid things into the back of your mind sometimes. I used to live in an apartment building about 36 years ago. I had only been into bowhunting for a couple years, but was pretty gungho into it especially after watching "Deliverance". Anywho, there was this large wooden garbage bin in the back parking lot that was frequented by skunks every evening. I syphered that I'd do the building a favor and reduce the Peppy La Pew infestation. I pulled into the parking lot one evening and noticed a black and white (no not a police car) near the wooden bin, so I rushed in the apartment and got my bow. When I came back out in the dark, I flashed a small flashlight at the skunk some 25 yards away, then fired an arrow in its direcection. The arrow hit the ashphault, made some sparks, then pinned the skunk to the wooden garbage bin. I was pretty proud of myself, until the waft of au naturelle floated across the parking lot. Then I could hear the moans of a rather upset skunk, followed by comments coming from about three apartment patio doors complaining about "another skunk spraying up the area". Nobody had seen me in the dark, so I slid stealthfully (and rather embarrased) back into my apartment, only to emerge about an hour later to try and retrieve my doomed arrow and possibly dispose of my aromatic quarry. NOPE! Never did, or are ever gon'na do that again! DUMB! DUMb! DUmb! Dumb! What was I thinkin'? TBow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
