it all depends on which hand you broke... I think you could using a release aid if your release hand was the one broken. If not I don't think it is a very good idea to put all that pressure on a cast while holding the bow. You break a metacarpal? That is why they invented shotguns though... sucks if you can arrow a turkey but don't let that stop you from hunting!

I vote you get a pink cast... chicks will love you
