Default RE: Darwin Awards - adventures in stupidity

Arrow vs. House- I posted this on here last year when it happened but for those of you who didnt hear it..I live in a subdivision and was shooting in my backyard, I know, bad idea from the start. I have a 6ft high privacy fence and figured I would never miss that bad. i had just pruchased my tribute and was still getting use to the draw cycle and accidently touched the hair trigger on my release during the draw cycle. String bloodies my arm, arrow goes flying, I hear a noticable thud which although i never heard the sound before sounded like arrow hitting siding. Then, there was a short silence followed by me shouting profanities. To shorten the story, I get a hold of my neighbor, house was 85 yds away, and the arrow is sticking all the way into her great room about 9 feet up. She wasnt upset and I fixed the hole. I now shoot directly at my foundation and havent had an accident since. Also got a new release.
