Luckily the arrow and small game thumper cam out of the ordeal unscathed.
The sprinkler was not so lucky
Anyone one else have some mishaps recently?

Make sure of your target (roving mishaps)
I was doing some roving the other day and spied a nice aluminum can half covered in dead pine needles in my tree row. Well, I got into form,pulled back, took aim, then let er loose, I was pleased to see the can flip up in the air and report a satisfying crack. Short story short, it turned out I blasted a sprinkler instead of a stray can.

Lol...dang the luck!
When I was shooting woods...i learned not to shoot glass bottles around old junk piles. They inevitably would blow the tip or the nock off every time. Nothing recent though.

The element of surprise can never be replaced by persistence.

I heard about a guy that was out roving and in back of his house he saw several dirt clods and started shooting them .
When he went to retrieve arrows , he discovered they were dog bombs .

Glass bottles have broke my arrows every time I try to shoot one, really bugger up metal points too.
Man I think I'd rather plow another one of my sprinkers than have to deal with a dog doo arrow, who knows, maybe it makes good cover scent
