Okay, time for the archery version of Darwin Awards. I wanna hear the dumbest things you've ever done with your bow.

We're looking for originality and the risk of possible harm to yourself or those around you.

I'll start off with a few:

Man vs. Bow - back when we were kids (1990-1992'ish),myself and a few of my "colleagues" shot bow every day. It was the only constructive thing that we could find to do. Weplayed dumb games like "see who can shoot at and break the other guys' arrows." We lived by an archery range, so we'd always go down there and pick up random arrows (all shapes and sizes) that were lost behind the targets. So, we always had 50-60 arrows handy. Some with the fletchings rotted off, etc... We had crappy old plastic round-wheeled bows.

Anyway, one day my buddy's string comes off the wheel. Lacking a bow press, we figured that we could just compress the bow manually long enough to get the string back on. Bad idea.

3 100# kids, leaning on the bow, flexing it, whilethe 4thmental midget tries to fish the string around the cam. You guessed it - we let off a bit, causing the bow to "unflex," and pinning his fingers right in the cam. He was squealin like a school girl.
