does this count?

shot my first comp last week, during the competion (a worcester) i was struggling with a bow I later came to realise was too strong for me. anyway 2 of my arrows were shot with interesting consequences

the first, just after the arrow left my bow, I noticed somthing small ping away from the arrow, thinking something had fallen off, I scanned the floor until I realised what had happened - I HiT A BLUEBOTTLE, the little blighter was scabbling around on the floor on its back!!!

later I loosed an arrow badly and almost completely missed the target face (alright I missed the scoring part of the face) but instead I shot out one of the plastic pins which held the face on - held the competition up for 10 mins while the judges found another pin

I can just see the little Mrs Mayfly moaning in mayfly heaven about how she'd waited all her life for that moment & it was all over too quickly

Haven't read the entire thread so not sure if this is relevant. But at a competition in Oswestry last summer there where thousands of tiny spiders in the air as we were shooting. Landing on your site, in your eye etc. Most odd, but a good excuse for a bad score.
