Any one else ever shot themself?

Long, Long Ago, In a Place Far Away.....

Notts county champs about 10 or 15 years ago I put my shubiya sight on the wrong bracket, shame that was my 60yds mark and not 20yds. The arrow went through the backstop netting, hit the wall, rebounded and hit my left thigh. Luckily for me it had run out of steam by then so it didn't even bruise. Oh how everyone else laffed!

My other good 'un was with my 1st bow. I was trying to set the clicker up in my bedroom, with the aid of a mirror. Any guesses what happened next? Yep, 7 years bad luck and lots of shattered glass everywhere.

I shot myself in the face last year (how I got my Fonz). Was doing a fun shoot at my club with a jelly bow and the string had worn and was too thin for anyone's nocks, so I was trying to draw and hold my arrow on the string at the same time. I swung, hit my armguard, turned around and hit me under the eye. 2mm more and I would've shot my eye. Funny now. Scary then.

I've shot someone else in the foot hit the target at 5 meters, a tightly packed boss and my woods, so the arrow bounced back. Luckely he had steel toe cap boots on.

I was arseing about in my dads garage with a wooden take down(my first bow ever) and ali arrows shooting into a foam boss. As the boss wears the foam sheets were folding over (being pushed arrond by the arrows) and acting as a cushion. A number of arrows bounced out. A few narrowly missing me but the best one was the one that shot my shoe and slide up between the laces of my shoe. Was funny to raise my leg and see this arrow still stuck in my shoe.

suppose we could give king harold a fonz award, 951 years on he might see the funny side of it now.

I nearly managed to hit someone at the competition where I ruined the two arrows. I had a beauty of a shot bounce out of the gold, slide along the floor point first back towards us and go straight through the line. That one prompted some surprise looks from just about everyone.

A little off topic but exceptional none the less.

It's nice to know I'm not alone in just missing a Coroner's report saying 'Death by misadventure', or perhaps more accurately a comment like 'There's a village somewhere missing it's idiot'
