Holy crap that was close.
 

I was messing with my Stingers, cutting paper with them. When my hand slipped off the arrow and my thumb landed on the bleeder blade. It sliced a layer of skin off my thumb. I didn't even feel it. It was weird. I watched the blade go right under my skin, but I didn't feel a thing. It didn't bleed, but it could have been plenty worse. I guess that's what I get for playin with my broadheads. I still can't feel it unless I press on it, but now that I've been hitting the space bar alot, its starting to sting just a tad. I wonder if thats what deer feel?

Since you probably sliced one layer of skin off your thumb I doubt if it feels the same as a hole in your side, thru both lungs, and a hole thru the other side. Ask your mommy for a snoopy band aid and a tippy cup full of koolaid!

RE: Holy crap that was close.

Haven't you been told not to play with sharp objects.lol They say deer don't have as many nerve endings so I doubt they feel as much as we would.

RE: Holy crap that was close.
 

Well, at least now you know that the blades are sharp enough to cut through flesh...;). In all seriousness I would be surprised if there was even one of us out there that hasn't been cut by a broadhead a time or two in their lives.

RE: Holy crap that was close.
 

Based on footage seen on tv and such, todays high speed bows and a very sharp broadhead, sometimes it looks like the deer didnt know what hit him.

DK at least wear some leather gloves next time, geeeeez...:eek::D:D:D

RE: Holy crap that was close.

RE: Holy crap that was close.
 

Plays with broadheads?

It's all adding up now.

Did you take the short bus to school DK?:D;)

Dont feel bad Dairy King,
When I was 15 I decided to take some Thunderhead 125's off my arrows and throw some field points on for practice. I left a broadhead on top of my desk by my school stuff. I woke up late and was rushing around in my room to get dressed so I would not miss the bus. I am running around in my boxers on and nothing else and grab the broadhead off my desk to go put in my bow case. I was in such a hurry that I never seen my backpack on the floor. I tripped over my backpack with the Thunderhead in my hand and dropped the broadhead on the floor. As I stumbled in mid air my right foot came right down on the broadhead. I only thing I felt was pressure in my foot. I sit on the floor and lift up my foot and one blade was all the way imbedded in the ball of my foot. The other two blades were sticking out perfectly. When I pulled out the broadhead it looked like a crime scene in my room. Make a long story shorter, I ended up missing the bus and that day of school. I got 6 stitches and knew that this broadhead had good penetration. I learned never to leave broadheads laying around as paper waits. Thanks for listening and happy hunting

RE: Holy crap that was close.
 

Sooo, the last 2 posts of yours on here you
1) Shot one of your buddies bows and it jumped out of your hands and bounced off the floor.
and
2) You were playing with broadheads and you cut your finger.

I either wouldn't do these things or wouldn't tell anyone if I did.

RE: Holy crap that was close.
 

Yep. Everyong goes through a learning curve, granted most of it is common sense, Im just learning it all at once. [&:]

RE: Holy crap that was close.
 

I grew up in Wind Lake, WI. Where I stay when I am in WI is New Berlin. I do not live in WI now because I am in the Air Force so the military has me stationed in Valdosta, GA. At least I can bowhunt down there. Where are u from

RE: Holy crap that was close.
 

Yea, when they are about two years old.

1. If you don't want to drop it, hold it
2. Don't play with sharp objects

Your the kind of guy that touched the stove after your mother told you it was hot, right? :D

RE: Holy crap that was close.
 

Ahh crap happens, if you haven't cut yourself with something sharp for a stupid reason ya jsut aren't trying hard enough ;)Never have done it with a broadhead but have done it with a boning knife when I worked at a meat locker. That sucker hurt bad but the reward was that when I went to get it stitched up the person said, wow, that was a sharp knife. What a nice compliment, I had just been sharepening it right before I cut myself, Chalked it up to a job well done...

In all seriousness, the more you are around sharp objects the more likely you are to cut yourself. It is just a matter of exposure, now, cutting paper for fun with a broadhead is probably one of the stranger ones I have heard it isn't as bad as the guy who did it shaving hair off his arm to test the blades sharpness. They were not very sharp but left one nasty scar when they caught and dug.

RE: Holy crap that was close.
 

Yea right I,m sure when the knife dug in he just kept hacking away sawing and sliceing to leave this "NASTY" scar. Get real![:@][:@][:@][:@]

RE: Holy crap that was close.
 

Yeah, Motown, IL Rancher just made that up. :eek:I know him, I chat with him often, actually, he's not one to make stuff up like that.

Yeah, well, Anthony, atleast I didn't get my butt kicked by a little ole cow. :D[8D]How's the shoulders?

RE: Holy crap that was close.
 

Watch out for them arteries.....

RE: Holy crap that was close.
 

I'm from Appleton. Do most of my huntingnear Hortonville ,and up north in the Nicolet. Hope ya can make it back in time for our rut. No earn a buck this year , thats cool , but I'll still be whacking alot of doe when I can.

RE: Holy crap that was close.
 

Wasn't a knife, it was the blades on a broadhead and he didn't have to keep hacking and slicing. It caught, it cut, itsliced in, he didn't get stitches. There is a nice scar there as a record of his stupidity. Don't care a lick if you believe me or not Motown.

As afar as the shoulders DK, they are better, was actually able to shoot today for the first time since the accident. Only went 10 arrows but so far so good, filled the damn hole in too...
