Default Anyone get shot this weekend?

Well, I shot myself! I need to know if I'm the only idiot that has entered the woods? The real skinny is I shot my finger while pracitcing at camp this weekend. I must have held my had too open and the blade of the broadhead slid down the top of my index finger. Actually, I was a little relieved to see I was bleeding because it explained why the arrow missed the target and into the cactus. I didn't notice I was hit for a couple minutes while I was hunting for my lost arrow then all the sudden I came across a blood trail in the cactus patch! Panic...what did I not see behind my target before I shot? There was a very friendly dog at our camp visiting from the neighbors across the way did I hit her?Pretty emotional stuff until I noticed my finger was leaking! After a quick clean-up it turned out to be a very light flesh wound.

I see this as a brake down in my well practiced shooting method/style. Most likely a mental brake down. I guess that is what they mean that safety starts with you. It won't happen again!
