I've done this twice so far, once on a hard floor with the bow bouncing down the Hall with an almighty clang and clatter (its a gold medallist), and once on grass. Bent the sight first time (straightened it out with pliers) and it survived unscathed the second time.

The problem is your immediate reaction is to go straight after it and I did this both times. Not a good idea when the archer next to you is lining up his perfect shot. Lucky I'm not very tall so they missed. [me!].

I think a bit of self preservation is worth considering.
