"Arrows IN things"



"Cops were searching Tuesday night for the archer who shot an arrow that nearly hit a Queens father as he carried out the trash. The 3-foot-long missile whizzed by Eric Weinberger outside his Whitestone home on 20th Road about 10 p.m. "It zoomed right by me," said Weinberger, 48, who darted back into the house to tell his wife and young daughter "to get down." The fiberglass arrow, with a green feather, plunged into the side of his home... Minutes later, cops and news cameras converged on his backyard. Investigators found a second arrow on the ground, he said."

Just a few days after this previous incident in the Bronx:

At 2 p.m. on Sunday, Ms. Brown, of Yonkers, had driven to the nursing home, on Independence Avenue, to drop off a friend who lives there. She was opening the passenger’s door of her red Kia Sorento when she was struck by the arrow, the police said. The arrow hit her in a downward path and penetrated a couple of inches into her body.

“I felt this sharp pain,” Ms. Brown said on Monday. “I looked down and there was an arrow protruding from my belly. I was going to pull it out but when I pulled on it a little bit, I felt it was embedded deep inside of me. I was afraid I would bleed uncontrollably — I thought I better leave it until I was at the hospital.”

On Monday, the police said the arrow had been identified as a Blackhawk 4000 ACA, a 30 ½-inch-long, all-carbon arrow. Its shaft was black and two of its three feathers were still affixed to it, one of them yellow and the other white. The police said the arrow’s tip seemed to be for target-shooting.

...But arrows are not marked with serial numbers and are not easily traceable...

Heads up for those arrows these days...
