You're bowfishing off of a high bank and business is slow. Suddenly, up pops a big turtle at an impossible distance.
You're thinkin' "Well, why not? Just for practice, won't hit him anyway..."
Hold over, let fly and "CRACK!"... No no no! dead center and I didn't bring a hatchet!
Once and I won't make it again.
Or another scenario, hunting the edge of some thick cattails and out swims a big,nasty watersnake who seems bent on terrorizing the fish under your protection...
"Just for practice" you're thinking, "Gonna miss him clean, just watch, too far out".... "Sproing!--SPLAATT!"... NOOOoooo! Why!!!!
End result is one PO'ed snake, gut-shot and waay up on the string. That's gonna' be fun to sort out.
Nope, seen a buddy do it though. By the time he got it in the boat I was on the bank
