Funny arrow stories
#1
Does anyone have any funny arrow stories. They can be stories of arrows deflecting and hitting things or anything else that is funny to you. I do not have any "yet".

Here's my best one to date ....
A group of us were shooting in a 3D league at a friend's house. Actually, it was the burlap animal targets on rag backstops, but we called it 3D anyway! We could shoot it any day of the week, so one buddy of mine and I always arranged to shoot together. I shoot XX75 2413's with Uni-bushings and my buddy was shooting the old pultruded carbon AFC's. It was my turn to shoot first as we got to this deer target that was out about 32yards or so, and we were off to the right side a little bit so the "10" looked smaller. I shot and put one right dead center. My partner said, "Nice shot ... I'm going to aim right for your nock". As his arrow hit the target, all we saw was what looked like a puff of smoke and his arrow was gone.
We walked up to the target butt and there was only one arrow in there (mine) and some pretty purple fletching all over the ground. Then I realized my nock was missing. We pulled my arrow out and realized that his arrow went perfectly inside of mine and pushed the Uni-bushing nock right inside with it!!! He shot about a 27" arrow while mine were 28.5", so it fit right inside. Definitely the best shot I've ever seen .... a 2-person team Robinhood!!!
I had to give him a "zero" for that target, though ... I told him his arrow never touched the target!!!!
