Default RE: I really didn't think this would happen.....

I've had quite a few, but I don't remember ever having one on purpose, and I've never had one I could keep--they have all been on carbon or wood.

The most memorable for me was at Tannehill State Park in AL. The ASTB has "multi-round" tournaments--shoot as many rounds as you want (pay for each round) and you can keep the highest score (my first is almost always my highest anyway).

Anyhow, I was shooting with a friend and we'd been at it all day. I think we were on our 5th round (long course), and we were both just flinging--too tired to be shooting. My friend was down to his last "lucky arrow" (started with three--not so sure what was supposed to be lucky about them). We were almost done with the round, and he shot a cougar target square in the hip. He's usually a crack shot, but like I said--we were shot out. 'Course I had to tell him what a lousy shot he was, etc. (got to have fun with it), then it was my turn. I PROMISE I was looking at the kill--and I robin-hooded his arrow! No way I could have done that on purposeif I'd been offered a million bucks and had a gun to my head!

He proceeded to call me everything but smart and honest, said I did it on purpose (I only wish I was that good!), etc. etc. etc. That was several years ago, and every time I remind him of it he still has a few choice words for me--lol. 'Course I remind him of it just about every time I see him........

Hang that one in a place of honor--may be a while before it happens again!
