a brand new bow - £600

High performance carbon arrows - £10 each

A professional archery target in the backyard - £80

Forgetting to set something on the new bow string and releasing the arrow into the door frame............PRICELESS

LMAO!!!

Gis, get some readymix polyfilla and a tester pot of white gloss - no-one will be able to tell and it'll only take 10 minutes to sort out

Your parents probably have that in their garage somewhere already!

Your dad must be a pretty good shot to get it in the door frame tho!! If he'd have hit the wall youd have been well fucked!! lol good luck to your dad in explaining! hehe :D

LOL nah it was a pretty shit shot actually.......now for the explanation of how it happened.the bow string and other parts of his bow were new......he had to seal a certain part by burning wax and sum other things onto the string.......he was about to do it but went to do sumthin else instead.got back and forgot he hadnt done it,pulled the bow back and snap.........cracked himself in the face.......and the arrow went straight into the frame,i came down and he said "Dan....i had an accident"........then later said "it looked really cool though when it hit"

as i just told 666fast,who says you have to be young to be stupid,LOL

HAHA LMAO mental image sent me giggling for ages!! lol
If you'd have caught it on camera, you could have bribed your dad for anything, saying you'd show it to his archery class if he didnt give you what you wanted!! lol

So did you come downstairs after the wave of expleetives and shouts reached you!? :wink: hehe

12-22-2004, 08:03 PM
LOL i wish i woud have cought it on camera myself,i wish i had been stood there as it actually happened,but i came down just after it happened and the explanation as he told me had me on the floor with laughter.i wonder what my mum will do though,i gotta admit to you,this isnt the first time it happened,although last time it wasnt a mistake he made,just bad timing and after what happened last time my mum made him replace the whole door

do you think i would let sum1 with a full competition bow fire it through the house after having a drink of alchohol......me thinks not

Ronin005 - the bow was no gift,just what my dad does for a hobby.......hobby as in archery not shooting arrows into door frames that is,lol

and my mums reaction wasnt as bad as i thought all she did was go down and look at it and said to my dad "they have archery ranges for one good reason you know"

saadie

amazingly there was no damage to the arrow,hit that wooden frame at a pretty high rate of speed and went into that wood close to about an inch.but no damage to the arrow.

here is the bow used,lol

Yes for sure I wouldn't walk around too much! more like crawling!

I was also wondering what is actually behind the target in the backyard... somebody else's backyard? In that case, i bet the enjoy your dad's activity a lot :D probably the whole family always wear medieval chainmail when going out!

gis
12-23-2004, 11:44 AM
yeah i walk around like a rohirrim rider out of lord of the rings :P

anyway behind the target outside is a huge wall so no arrows will go beyond our backyard.also he only ever fires it when my mum is upstairs in bed or when we are both out.he only uses it int he house when he has to set it up for sumthing :)

LOL well using it when drunk woudl be a bad idea.breaking it woudlnt be a nice thing,the price i gave at the opening post for the cost fo the bow wasnt made up,thats how much it cost,so if he broke it,you can imagine how pissed he would be :lol:
