Accident or intentional?

So we live in a suburban neighborhoods and we found an arrow lodged in our roof about a year ago. My husband was very concerned, but I stupidly blew it off as a random accident. Then, a few weeks ago I found 2 arrows lodged in our front walkway, perpendicular to our house and parallel to each other. In the middle of the afternoon. They were shot somewhere between 3 and 4 pm, while my daughter was outside in our tree swing approximately 15 feet away.

I called the cops, since is seemed to me that they were shot at our house, from the street, and on purpose. Cops went across the street to ask the neighbors, and the one not directly across from us but at an angle to us admitted he was practicing in his backyard and they must have "ricocheted". He has convinced everyone it was just an accident but it seems suspicious to me, given the angle of our house in respect to his, and the fact that not one but two arrows ( or 3 if you could the one in our roof last year) would have had to make it through multiple dense trees and bushes to end up where they were.

Granted, I have never shot an arrow in my life and I am extremely upset given that these arrows could have easily impaled my child sitting feet away, and that this guy is shooting arrows towards a suburban street in the middle of the afternoon. So my emotions are high and I may not be looking at it rationally, but I just don't see it how these could be due to "ricochet".

Could this have been an accident? Photos linked below (I apologize the arrow photos are not good).

Shibuya vs Axcel vs other top end sights?

So my budget has increased and i decided i'm going for a top-level sight for the target style recurve i'm building. It seems that Shibuya and Axcel are the top end, so for anyone who has experience with either one of them, or preferably both, could you tell me the differences, pros and cons, and which one is the best value? i'm planning on buying the most expensive, so the Axcel Achieve XP - Recurve or the Shibuya Ultima RC PRO Carbon Sight . If there's any other top end sights you think are better, let me know. I want this to be the first and last sight that i ever buy, and price doesn't really matter. Another question, on the Shibuya there's an option for "Single mount" and "Double mount." What do those mean? And lastly, is the sight aperture on either of the sights suitable, or is there better after-market apertures that are better? I'm sort of thinking that is something I should be buying from my local shop so i can actually te...

Is there any reason mediterranean and slavic draw shoot from opposite sides of the bow

When the release imparts the same twist on the string? It was my understanding that mediterranean draw has the arrow on the side opposite of the bow of the draw hand because of the twist imparted on the string affecting the arrow on release but that should mean that slavic draw would suffer from that problem. Am I missing something with this? Shouldn't that mean you could use a mediterranean draw on the same side of the bow as the draw hand and not have issues?

Help with a makeshift target for the garden.

My sister is buying me a target for Christmas so it would be kind of rude to just go out and buy one and ruin the gift, so in the mean time im making a makeshift target with whatever I have about. So far I have a tall box about 4 or 5 feet tall and 3 ft wide, its about a half ft deep. I've filled it with other boxes and the centre of the target is a box filled with polystyrene blocks, if then added a layer of blankets to the front and back and plugged any space with some old clothes and jeans. Paper target stuck on the front! What im wondering before I shoot at it, is with what ive described is it going to be enough to stop a field tip punching right through if if shot from a 40lb recurve at about 10ms? It will be resting against the brick wall of the house so I really don't want them to punch straight through and hit brick. I do have an old wooden door I could potentially use as an extra backstop just incase? Its an old inside door so mostly hollow inside rather than a so...
