Wow!!! Arrows go Fast!!

[UTGrad]

I was shooting in this common area at a bag taget in my subdivision. I was shooting from 40 yards and was trying to shoot a spot on the right side of the bag and the arrow caught the edge of the bag and proceeded to skip off the ice packed snow 150 yards and lodge into the fence that is way off in the distance in the picture below. Pretty impressive how fast an arrow is traveling. I will be safer next time.

I don't think I'd feel safe shooting there..Too many things could go wrong and your arrow end up in one of those houses..

 

[UTGrad]

I usually shoot somewhere else in the neighborhood. No issues.

I will be safer next time.
i hope so

i know this guy that was shooting his xbow one time, he missed the target and ended up sticking in the side of his neighbors house 200 yards away!!! yep they go fast.

Looks like for the few times you can't shoot somewhere else, a good backstop might be a wise investment.

UTGRAD,

I'm not going to jump on you for shooting in a subdivision like others....NOT...DUDE!!!! Look at the little one in the picture????

Okay, yes arrows go real fast now days...

Maybe you should use the broadside of a barn for a backstop .

I think this was a good lesson learned. Glad it was learned without someone getting hurt. Next time it might not turn out so good.
