Default Tough arrow and so are Blazers

By no means should I be posting this but.............I am.[&:] Thursday morning after work a buddy and I took a bag target and broadhead target to the local state land. We have done this many times with the permission of the local DNR. We proceeded to set them up near an old building that is not used for anything, as it is a remainder of what once was private property. After shooting for about an hour we became crazy or crazier and started taking long shots for fun with our field points. No measuring of yardage whatsoever, just going back farther and farther. I decided to take one last shot before leaving and figured it to be close to 70-75 yards. Anyway, dumbness, lack of concentration, prior target panic syndrome and maybe too much shooting and....................jerked or pulled it. You guessed it, just barely missed wide left like a choking field goal kicker and by the sound I knew I had hit the building.[&o] Knowing it was most likely in pieces or at the very least bent, we came to the targets and no A/C Superslim arrow, just one Blazer vane. Anyway, to make an already too long of a story short, I found an opening into the building and found my arrow sticking into and barely through the other side of the building which was roughly 30 feet wide. Closer evaluation found the passthrough point on the old dryed out 1 by siding. The arrow had split the wood of one side and stuck into the other. After much careful work, we were finally able to remove the arrow and point. No damage, no splits, and still straight! Even the two remaining Blazers were still perfect with the glue still bonding.

At least nobody can say I can't hit the broadside of a barn.[:@] But that A/C
Slim shaft and Blazer vanes are one tough combo. Wish I taken along my camera.

Just don't take one with a noisy zoom lens that makes noise even when you just turn the damn thing on. I wasn't thinking of that when I bought my camera. They say geniuses don't have common sense.
