Default Trykon Bow Accident

Last night my dad was showing off his new bow to his buddy inside the house. They were talking about arrow lenght or draw length or something so my dad knocked an arrow and drew back. He either bumped the trigger or the release failed and the arrow went through the drywall, through the siding, and stopped in the middle of the backyard. Mom was p*ssed to say the least. Thankfully nobody was hurt. There's just a hole in the wall now. My dad's normally extremely safety conscious and has never had an accident in 40 years of hunting so I'm suprised he did something so careless.

Well at least no one was hurt, you can always fix the drywall and siding. Tell him next time to step outside.

That's why they call them accidents, I'm glad nobody got hurt. Things happen.

Good thing he had that arrow nocked. A dry fire could have cost him his new bow. Glad no one was hurt!

I know of a lot of people that shot in the house, he may be the only one I have heard of that shot thru the house. I had a small accident the other day the only thing it cost me was a new arrow, shotin to the concrete wall. Got to love the basement. Glad I was not upstairs. Glad the house was the only thing that got hurt.
