I would bet that if you shoot at different targets you wouldn't have to worry about this.

That's a great idea Bob.

They should be able to make a fingerless vented glove like that. Just modify the kevlar that is used in motorcycle gloves. i have a set of gloves that are breathable and have kevlar on the nuckels. Why not make a plate for that area of the hand?

Exactly.

Could proably even build as part of a compound bow as long as it was flexible.

Even aftermarket ad on it could be done. The wheels are turning on this and I smell some smoke. Both pictures I've seen the guys where hit in almost the exact same spot on their hand. Even though one was a lefty. The arrow slides over the thumb and into the meaty part between the thumb and finger.

Let me know when I can get one because "The arrow slides over the thumb and into the meaty part between the thumb and finger" hurts even when I read it. Ill take a large lefthand in M.O. Obsession.

yes i fell safer and teh FMJs i ahve havent bent yet with hundreds of shot on em come on man think about it the carbon keeps teh aluminum straight and the aluminum keeps the arrow from exploding during the shot its like a double layer protection anyway i have shot thousands of shots on Gold tips and no problems yet just flex and check plus i will gurantee you that if you get a box of carbon for 50 bucks they dont have great tolerances first of all and you will have some to throw away because they dont fly right or have a bad or weak spine. That is my experiences with cheap carbons.

That doesn't even come close to the pictures I've seen. I'll try to find one.
