[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 4667115, member: 1409"] Sometimes, safety gets overlooked, just saying . . . . . Back when I was in college, I was shooting bows in one of my teacher's back yard. He lived in a typical subdivision, although the nearest house behind his was pushing 150 yards. He had a great archery target with an approximate 6 ft x 6 ft backstop of bales of hay behind it. Seemed safe, at the time. We shot a few arrows, all went well. Then, while I was drawing back my bow, my release aid simply BROKE. That was back when I pointed my bow up a bit while drawing (makes it easier to draw). That arrow hit the house 150 yards in the background. I'm remain thankful it didn't hit somebody or a window. I've been much more safety conscious ever since when shooting targets. [/QUOTE]
