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).

A Historical Defense of Lars Anderson

If you've been on an archery forum in the last few years, you've seen the discussions about Lars Anderson and his speed shooting videos. The comments across the internet about his videos are almost universally negative. You wouldn't believe the hate this guy gets. In a way, it's understandable. In his videos, Lars essentially claims that modern archers have lost many of the techniques that made ancient archers so formidable, and that through his readings of ancient archery manuals, he was able to rediscover some of those techniques. He then demonstrates that by using those techniques, he has become the fastest speed shooter alive today. And oh my god, those claims set the archery world on fire. The amount of hate he got then, and continues to get, is insane.These are VERY bold claims, and it's only natural to be skeptical. However, I find most of his critics to be disingenuous. And through my own readings of the early archery writings, I find that Lars is a lot c...

Will a whisker Biscuit work on a Martin Jaguar takedown?

I have a old Martin Jaguar take down that i bought years ago on a sale I and rarely shot it. Mostly because it felt very heavy to me with a 45lb draw weight as a young teen, when I also had an easy to pull back compound. Any ways the bow has been sitting collecting dust and I would like to use it again. The model came with a crappy plastic arrow rest and I was wondering if I could added a whiskey biscuit to it without any issues? submitted by /u/sigrug [link] [comments] from newest submissions : Archery https://ift.tt/3dWFgF8 via

Which Sites are Recommended for "Advanced Newbies"?

Hello there fellow archers, I'm newish to archery as a hobby and could use a little advice. When I first decided I wanted to give it a shot (sorry, I had to make that pun), I bought a highly reviewed, newbie-friendly, bow on Amazon. But... Just today, the 50" takedown bow I ordered completely broke, I cracked the handle, tore the bowling, have hairline fractures in both limbs, and probably a few more things. So anyway, I have a couple questions about what sites are recommended for "Advanced Novices" like myself. I'm pretty good, not great, but I do get a lot of enjoyment out of it as a hobby. So here's my questions: Which sites do you recommend for buying a much more reliable bow than the one I found on Amazon. The one from Amazon was rated as 55-60lbs, and since I broke it, it leads me to believe that I'd need a bow that's draw-weight is rated as something like 60-65lbs or 65-70lbs. My wife and I are on a pretty tight budget, so we can't a...
