Once while bowfishing at night I drew back upon spotting a buffalo. Little did I know that because I was using my index finger to guide the arrow, it hadalmost completelycome un-nocked. I hit the release and TWAAAAANG!!! Not sure if the string hit my bow arm or if it was just the sheer vibration but my entire arm went dead after the initial gi-normous shooting throbbing pain. Oh, if fish could laugh.
