 A Christmas Tragedy So I'm at the field with the new ACCs that Santa brought. Shot seven into the target, then an unfletched one as I'm still tuning. This last one went wide, so before retrieving them from the target I go behind the target to find this last one. I'm rummaging in the grass when I hear an almighty thud. The target has blown over, face forward and taken all seven new arrows with it. You have no idea how gutted I am. And the only one still straight is in the grass and I still haven't found it! I came very close to giving up for good, but I'm just beginning to talk myself round.  | |||||||||||

| A dignified silence is the only appropriate show of sympathy. No Fonz, surely - that would be rubbing salt in an excessive wound.

| I had almost exactly the same thing happen with my ACC's when I was shooting indoors with the compound. Brand new arrows, got 3 into the target, was walking down to collect and the stand collapsed. I was nearly in tears. Come to think of it, I've also had 6 Jazz go the same way. Shooting outdoors, wind blew the boss over and took the restraining rope with it. Again, tears nearly ensued. I have 7 620 ACC's cut to about 29in if your interested Lizard? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| I heard of a similar thing happening at White Rose Archers during the summer, except there were five sets of arrows in the boss! Aardvark Archery had some good business the next day...  Fonz award to whoever didn't secure the stand properly. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
