Welcome aboard the board.
I cut my arrows out past the riser so that there is no way a broadhead-tipped arrow can fall off the rest and have the blades touch my hand.
I know a guy who just about shot off his left index finger when that happened to him. His hands were really cold, and with gloves on he didn't feel the arrow laying on his hand. Let's just say he felt it when he released. [:@]I keep telling him the sharp end is for the deer.
