is it worth a fonz ?

shoot my second ever long national yesterday , while at 80 yards i loosed an arrow and i heard a ping and the flag on top of the target fell to the side.

When i walked down to retrieve my arrows i had hit the old aluminium arrow shaft that held the flag dead centre and cut it in half !

after a long search i found the arrow undamaged

my shooting partner ( big dog ) commented he enjoys shooting with me as there is always something to keep him amused !

i would agree except the next end i got 4 golds without adjusting my sightmarks, also at 80 yrds i hit the back leg and the side leg !

i have shoot at 60 yrds and 80 yrds around tea time and as i was drawing an arrow i noticed it was damaged , on further investigation the inner tube had broken and after i had shot it a couple of times the carbon must have split , me thinks it happened when it hit the flag or when i was digging one of them out of the leg.

arrows on the target tonight once i concentrated on my draw and referance points

There was another photo, but quite blurry, that shows this has been shot in half. How many of us could've hit that if we tried?
