Default I AM A MORON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey guys,

I just had the ol Liberty shooting in my basement. Well, I took one of my GoldTip 3-D Pro's down that was tipped with a 125 grain field point and I took my last and only Carbon Express Terminator Hunter 6075 arrow down that didn't have a field point. Well, I had these arrows sitting beside each other and I was getting ready to shoot when I heard my dog barking. I went upstairs to see what he was barking at, but there was nothing. Well, I went back down, picked up an arrow, drew back, shot, and............CRACK!!!!!!!!!!!! The arrow hit the target and sounded like a friggin shotgun! Well, I look down and see my GoldTip sitting on the ground. I shot my Carbon Express without a field tip by accident!!!! THANKFULLY that was a HEAVY arrow, 426 grains without the field point (31" long and they weigh 12 grains per inch, plus 3-4" duravanes and nock and insert) After that, I decided to just come back up and leave the shooting alone for the night!!!!!! [8D]

"""Note To Self""" If you are going to have two different arrows out and only one field point for the two, make sure that you shoot the arrow with the field point attatched

I have the same arrow's here sitting right beside me when I read your post I thought Gee I'm sure that's what i got sitting in the box in the laundry room .sure enough that's exactly what they are ,I bought them off e-bay for $26.00 Canadian and they were too heavy for my Golden Eagle Splitfire .I think I'm going to set them up for my BowTech Patriot Dually for moose hunting and I'll use Easton Axis for Deer .

You have to aim for the mortar joints.

While confession is good for the soul, none of us here are priests by a long shot.

However, posting this is borderline public humiliation. We're all human and have made this mistake or worse.....in my case worse. I shot the refridgerator while trying to ease my "cabin fever" from not being able to get out and shoot my bow....missed the target shooting from the living room to the kitchen.

Nobody found the hole until we moved a couple of years later.

Good hunting, Bowhunter57

I know how you all feel, last fall, I was shooting from the middle of the driveway into the garage, about 20 yards. I had my foam target up on my bench with some metal cabinets behind my target. In those cabinets I had all of my oils and fluids for my racecar. Long story short, I had a new set up on my new bow and I took the first shot and missed the target completely, punching a hole right thru the door of the cabinet. The arrow scewered quarts of oil and there was oil running all over. I cleaned up the mess and started shooting again, and it wasnt long before I hit it again, and I had more oil running all over the work bench. This time , Iwent thru the cabinet completelyand busted the window behind it. After that, I decided I had better stop shooting for a while.[:@]
