Man that is heart breaking, I hope she is okay. That is one thing we all need to be very aware of, how safe is your back drop? I practice outside my fence shooting downhill parrelell to the fence with a creek bank behind my target. We may all want to re-evaluate our practice areas.

Hope she is okay. I too wonder where the parents were. I'm sure there are some 10 year old that are taught how to be safe and responsible with a bow, but they are still 10 year olds. Would like to hear the whole story.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm. Something just doesn't sound right here. Think of the odds. 10 year old, shooting a bow WITH BROADHEADS on it, apparently unsupervised, and shoots an arrow perfectly through a crack in the fence WITH A BROADHEAD ON IT. I can't even shoot an arrow through a crack in the fence in my yard if I tried. Unless it is a huge crack (maybe missing a board) I don't think a broadhead tipped arrow would pass through the crack. And I certainly don't think his bow would have been powerful enough to go through the wood.
If it is true, then I hope she is ok, but it doesn't sound 100% legit to me.

My 6 yr old goes out and practices by himself in the back yard. I dont think a parent has to be there all the time. Some of his best practice is when I leave him alone. In early spring we did move our practice lanes after spotting the neibor behind us had put in a trampoline, we could just barely make out the kids jumping thru the trees. But I do hope she is alright.
