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...

Recurve string hitting wrist area...

Hi, ​ I just upgraded my 26lb to a 40lb bow, I'm loving it's power but I am having a consistent issue with hitting my wrist with the string every time I full draw, never with half draw, please see: https://imgur.com/sltnRTI ​ I have tried different hand positions, like rotating my wrist away from the strings path but it just feels so unsteady when drawing. I don't feel like I'm holding it majorly wrong, I never encountered this issue with my 26lb so I'm a little confused about what the cause may be. ​ Any help would be greatly appreciated, I am still pretty nooby with archery so perhaps I am just dumb. ​ I believe my brace height is 7.5 inches if that helps, it is a 70" bow, my hand is comfortable on the grip when drawing, it isnt majorly up or down, and looks straight to me, and like i say, rotating it away just leaves me with little control over the bow. ​ Edit: My string is a 70" string, the riser for my new bow is 1" longer than my 26lb...

(New?) Dual Takedown Recurve Case Option

Before I get to the case. HUGE shoutout to u/FerrumVeritas to all of his fawking awesome posts about equipment, risers, etc. Me and some friends started archery a few weeks ago, and after weeks of looking around and compiling info, the best I could share with my friends are mostly his posts interspersed with my own opinions and analysis in our shared spreadsheet. To the case! Not that I looked, but it doesn't look like anyone has done this yet? I wanted a case, but didn't want to carry around a rifle sized case. Nor did I want something obscenely heavy. I prefer a hardcase, but they were all exorbitantly expensive. I like the look of SKB, and the reviews and reputation is there; but for the price, I don't feel like the value is there. I also wanted something a bit different. Enter the Pelican 1605 Air! Website measurements showed a 25" riser was a tight fit in the Pelican, so I took a gamble that 1/2" of foam was plenty to protect the riser's ends. ...
