One week ago I was shooting the bow and had a arrow shatter on release. The font of the arrow continued on and the tail shafted proceeded to shoot itself into my left hand between my index finger anf thumb. I then pulled the arrow out(I know a mistake)...blood then was everywhere. Jamie rushed me to the ER where later that night I had surgey. I niched the artery and they had to tie it off. She also pulled out three big pieces of arrow along with "a ton" of small pieces. Just got back from the doctor and all looks pretty good...still really swollen....I am definetly going to have some nerve damage. But I am confident that I will regain my strength and mobility back....gonna be pinful recovery.
Here are some pics.
At the ER..not the best pic......
The arrow....
The part of the arrow that was in my hand....about 1.5" of it in my hand..
My club.......
Hand pictures..wound does look too bad...but you can see some bruising and swelling.....
All I cay to all bow shooters..is make sure those carbon arrows are great shape before shooting.....I may be switching to aluminum.
