Norwalk, Iowa — Police in the central Iowa town of Norwalk say a man target shooting with a compound bow in his backyard missed a target and struck a moving vehicle last Thursday.

Officers responded to the intersection of Shady Lane Drive and East 27th Street just after 7:30 p.m. Thursday after receiving a call about an arrow shot into a vehicle. According to a news release, authorities report “On arrival, officers located a resident who was target shooting with a compound bow in his backyard,” according to a news release from police. “Further investigation revealed that the resident apparently shot an arrow that missed the target and struck the front windshield of a vehicle being driven on East 27th Street.”

Police said the “arrow pierced the windshield and came to rest on the dashboard.” No injuries were reported. The archer was cited with shooting a bow within city limits without a permit.

In the release, police reminded locals that permits are required “to lawfully shoot arrows, paintballs, slingshots, air rifles, BB guns or other dangerous instruments within the city.”
