Default What are the odds????!!!!!

OK, so I went hunting the opener with my dad. He's 74, and hunts with a crossbow. I set him up overlooking a well used trail, which I also have a camera set on.
He has a doe and two fawns coming in, decides to take a shot at the big doe. His arrow hits a twig, and goes sailing about 35 yards.
He hears a "crack" and sees his arrow sticking out of a tree. When he goes to retrieve it, this is what he finds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now you tell me, WHAT ARE THE ODDS????!!!!!!!!

OOPS! Wow the odds on that would have to be astronomical!
A little disapointed in the amount of penetration though lol.

Thats crazy....Question...is that mesh fabric covering your flash? Is that a modification on your part? And why? Is it to just remove the glare from the clear lens?

Yea, I put that on there just to cut down on the glare. Does'nt cut down the flash at all.

Sorry, I hope the camera is ok or salvagable, but man that is some crazy stuff. I couldn't help but laugh. If it was me I know I wouldn't be laughing. Crazy for sure.
