I was finalizing my weights to shoot for this fall, and lost focus for a second while messing with something and sailed this guy into my 2x6 paper frame. I cut it out to see how much penatration it was. 2" deep. 680grain with 20%foc. Not sure what my FPS is. Screenshot_20210402-192000~2.pngScreenshot_20210402-191947~2.png
This one is my Maasais I stuck in the log I had my target sitting on last summer. Oops. Screenshot_20210402-193051~2.png

Hum.. how impressed was Mrs. Red beard???
She was standing right there beside me actually! Can't remember exactly what I was showing her about the bow (I had brought it up from the basement), may have been related to draw length or something, but I drew back and pulled the bow away from my face to look at the string and I accidentally hit the thumb button. Sent that arrow directly into one of the mortar lines that holds the large flagstones together. Couldn't ever get it out of there so I unscrewed the tip and walked away. :tearsofjoy:

Before you ask, all the kids were already in bed. :)

I accidentally cut one loose at about 3/4 draw while bare shaft tuning my heavy arrows while at work. Shot all the way through a steel industrial interior door. I had full length Ethics SS inserts and footer on the tip with a 200 gr. Ethics stainless field tip. 0 damage to the arrow or any components. I unfortunately didn't fare as well.

Don't have a picture, but I shot a hole through one of my closet doors in my old apartment. I was shooting about 10 yards from my living room into my bedroom. I think I accidentally bumped my release. Luckily I just filled it with some wood puddy.

Shot a hole in my parents’ basement garage door when I was 10 or so—got a good whoopin’ for that one.
More recently, I sailed one past my home target into my nice, expensive garden hose that was irreparable. Ouchie.
