A guy I know lost the use of one eye while shooting his bow. While going thru the long process of trying to save his injured eye he said that he met 3 other people who also recieved eye injuries while shooting their bows. Always wear eye protection while shooting. unless seeing isnt that important to you. good luck hunting.
he told me it was his peep but he didnt explain it in detail and I didnt press him for more info. He warned me to always protect myeyes and the eye doctor said it is a quite common injury. he was lucky to save his eye but can only see shadows now.
Sometimes in target shooting, people just use aluminim peeps (no rubber tubing) and do not tie them in. This is dangerous because the peep can come out, at the shot, and bounce off of the limb and right back into your eye.[]
