Anyone ever shoot arrows straight in the air when you were a kid, cmon fess up, or was I the only stupid one that did that. The adrenalin would really start pumpin when you lost sight of it and it was on the way back down, I would run away with my hands over my head. Couple times it came down right in front of me,buried 5 inches in the ground. THAT was some dumb arse chit. Throwing the Lawn darts AT your fiends was another potential Darwin award .

but if you stayed where you shot it up it would be almost impossible you have been hit . its all about trajectory .

back some years I removed the old shakes on my house and resided with new shingles . I had 2 12 foot step ladders with 2 X12 12' stretched between them . I needed a few more inches of support and moved one ladder a little too far . I dont know how long I was on the ground ( no one was home ) . but I sure had a sore head . maybe thats part of my problem .
