Guys, be careful. Every year we hear of accidents that happen with broadheads.Please read below of a real life accident that happened to a fellow hunter:

I almost died - really!!

Yep. The title is correct. This was one of the most frightening experiences of my life.

I had set up some arrows for my brother-in-law. He and his wife came by Friday evening, Oct. 6 to pick them up and for us all to go to dinner. I went to my room to get the broad head arrows. As I was returning with the arrows I had to pass through an internal doorway in the house and that is when it happened.

I can’t say I felt it but I knew what I had done and that I was in real trouble. One of the arrows had touched the door jam and I had stuck the broad head into the left groin area. Yea, we all know what runs in that area.

Lets make a long story short. I hit the femoral Vein not the artery and how I missed the artery is beyond understanding according to my trauma surgeon.

I lost a ton of blood from the house to the hospital. More at the local hospital, had an uneventful flight from Harrisburg to Evansville, IN. to Deaconess Hospital who had a trauma, vascular surgeon on staff.

I am sewed up and doing well with the exception of some things resultant of low or no blood pressure regarding my guts. But, I am alive. Back to work today. Its good to be alive.
