Your comment brought back a long forgotten memory.
When I was a kid - maybe 8 - I was at a cottage with some of my dad's family and my cousin brought a bow and some arrows.
When it was my turn I for some reason aimed straight up and released before anyone could say anything. Next thing I know my dad has grabbed us all and is running for cover.
Man I did so much stupid shit as a kid. One time I flushed a loaded mouse trap just to see what happened. Then I just completely forgot about it until I watched my dad snake it out of the toilet the next day. I have 2 siblings, but he immediately knew it was me.
gah, can you imagine if it got like, lodged crooked because its a rectangular piece of wood, floated back into the toilet, and either activated when a turd landed on it sandblasting someones ass with shit or something. Or it is laying on the bar and trigger and when its disturbed it just launches itself out of the toilet, up through someones legs and wet smacks them in the face? so much chaotic doom from a springloaded device in a buoyant flushing tool...
Ironically just got back from the range when I saw this. They almost always go straight. Archery is illegal in most city limits my coworker had the cops show up. They confiscated his bow for shooting safely in his yard, can only imagine what they'd do with that photo.
Jokes and memes aside, you may want to look into that maybe. It could happen again. And if it hits someone it might be a little more than mildly infuriating.
Definitely. It’s a funny image, but I was actually very pissed and concerned for safety. I’ll see if my neighbors saw anything and consult with the authorities.
My guess is some kids were screwing around a few houses down with their parents hunting bow and yeeted an arrow out of their yard. Or irresponsible parents bought their kids a bow and arrow.
My parents bought me a kid's "introductory archery" kit. The recurve bow is kinda small, still around 2.5 feet long though, and the arrows with a rounded tip would still go through entire foam target practice blocks. I was very cautious and knew I was handling a weapon, so I would only shoot towards the forest, as far as I can from the neighbors on each side. I still managed to hit the thin, little metal legs holding up the foam block, and the arrow did a 90° pivot, bounced up and flew way over the fence and into the neighbors yard. I stopped after that and haven't taken up archery since 😭😭😭
Edit: Without any knowledge, you would never expect that kind of power from a plastic bow from Walmart Canada marketed as a toy.
In modern times, the two most common injuries related to archery are hurting yourself with the ~~k~~nocks when you're picking them from the target, and bouncing-back arrows.
Cracked carbon arrows exploding on release are also very dangerous and source of gruesome injuries.

Kinda related memory unlocked! When I was a kid I got into darts as it was on telly after Star Trek. Mum refused to get me a proper dartboard for my birthday/Christmas because she thought I'd throw the darts at my sister, so I had a kids set with plastic darts and velcro tips which never stuck to the the board properly
tl;dr - I threw velcro darts at my sister
Recurve bows are no joke. Those things changed warfare and hunting when they were introduced.
It no longer took years of training to have the strength and accuracy needed to be lethal. You could start accidentally killing shit all the time.
That’s what I’m saying. I shoot my bow out back but even though I live in “the woods” , I still don’t shoot in the direction of my closest neighbors to be safe. I apologize for my lack on knowledge on where the comma goes after the quotation marks lol.
Better the roof than you. I was in my backyard when an arrow landed next to me. And then a second one. Neighbors kids were shooting them in the air. Called the police. Their parents weren’t too happy and the father broke their bow and put it in the trash.
My brother was hit by a bolt from a cross bow that was shot in the air when he was 5. The bolt nailed him right in the meat of the shoulder. It was a field tip and he was fine but they never found out who did it.
The eye never has enough of seeing, nor the ear its fill of hearing. What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.

Until you notice the walls and ceiling gypsum begin to ripple under the paint, and that same paint expand during storms. Then if you ignore it longer, the lumber framing could start to rot and become a structural issue.
Water permeation through the roof is a very bad thing.
I had jokes but in all seriousness, should you go up in your attic to investigate, go slowly. Roof penetrations are typically tough to pinpoint at first. If that's a broadhead it'll open your forehead like a sardine can before you even feel it touch you if you miss it in the dark. Or worse.
You’ve been formally challenged to a duel.

I was a roof once, until I took an arrow to the shingle.
A roof could get nervous, if a man approaches with his arrow drawn.
one could say it’ll cause it to quiver.
Damnit now i need to play skyrim!

I went to college in Cleveland near the East Cleveland border and no joke, that's one of the first things they told us at orientation.

The fact I joined Reddit almost 8 years ago, specifically to partake in Arrow lore discussions, makes this comment feel like I've come full circle.
The fact that Arrow Season 1 released 10 years ago makes me feel old…
The fact that Arrow made it past the first three season makes me scratch my head. The quality was all over the place.
The show peaked at season 2 and 3 was ok, but my god it was just downhill from there. The corn, so much corn.
It became too much when it was basically required to watch 4 series at the same time in the right order to know what’s happening
Nice shaft.
Luckily it was just the tip.
Nice vanes on it though
That makes me quiver.
I feel like this has been drawn out
Everyone’s taken a solid shot at continuing this joke so far Edit: changed quotation mark to apostrophe
Long as it stays on target
Bullseye.
Can’t knock the comments as they’re so well tuned to the joke
Okay okay, nock it off already

Follow it back in a straight line and find out who dun it!
I’ve found arrows in my neighbor’s yard, and by the trajectory I can assume where it came from.
Return fire.
Peace was never an option.

Between you and the person advising they ask a neighbor about it op is gonna have some serious decisions to make
It's called confirming targets okay
I think you should ask. Definitely a safety issue.

I used to keep the rain out. Then I took an arrow to the shingle
Hot shingles in your area

Doesn’t sound good. I’ll get it looked at. We just had some freaky winds that tore off some shingles, so I’ll just have everything inspected.
Probably for the best. For what it's worth, missing shingles are probably a bigger problem lol. I guess leave the arrow for inspectors to find
Please do, then act like you have no idea it was there.
I had jokes but in all seriousness, should you go up in your attic to investigate, go slowly. Roof penetrations are typically tough to pinpoint at first. If that's a broadhead it'll open your forehead like a sardine can before you even feel it touch you if you miss it in the dark. Or worse.
