That would be me.

Dont let a "safe backstop" make you feel invincible, arrows can do amazing things once they leave your bow. It is very possible to have an off shot that juuuust grazes the top at your target. That arrow could then ricochet straight up, over your house, across the street, and land in your neighbour's yard 100 yards away. You will then look like a massive idiot in your neighbourhood, have to apologize and profess your foolishness, purchase a case of beer for said neighbour, and be forever in debt should he decide to not call the cops on you.

I hate to be a poor sport; but "it happens". Don't let yourself be humbled and embarrassed like me.

Safe to say that some of the silly by-laws are in place for good reason. Like someone else mentioned, the sleep lost over a missing arrow is not worth it.

Cheers,
Brad
