As far as having my hand near someone's bow at full draw, it happens all the time. I adjust as last three peeps a day while customers are at full draw. I trust them enough to have the common sense to keep their finger behind the trigger.
Haha... no way bro. I don't trust anyone with anything when it comes to bows or guns. I've had too many close calls so similar to the one you just had to trust anyone unless they have a "no-release" on. Any gun that comes in is loaded unless the action is open and/or bolt removed. Anyone at any time could potentially loose and arrow that could really hurt or kill you. Play by those rules, all the while being cool about it and just genuinely safety conscious, and you'll never have an issue.
I wasn't hurt too bad. After the customer left I grabbed a bow from the shelf and went and shot it to make sure I could still shoot mine. Nothing major, just a bruiser wrist and a scraped knuckle.
And it could have just as easily been an arrow through your hand or arm. Glad you came out alright. Just remember not to trust anyone.
