Default ouch

Had the same thing happen to me 2 yrs ago- it knocked my sight completely off. Shook me up a little bit cause it was my first season as a bowhunter. Taught me a valuable lesson tho-- always flex that arrow up by your ear if you hear ANY noise throw it away! I run my fingernail around the arrow too to feel for any cracks- it's a pretty scary experience- a brother of my buddy had the back half of one go into his forearm. Ouch!

Is the fuse completely trashed?
or will replacing just the pins make it resalable?

It could have been worse , kinda makes think about wearing safety glasses when shooting carbons.

Glad you are ok!
I have a customer that had one go thru his forearm.
I will start checking my arrows better.
How old is the arrow?
Has it been thru any deer?
