ColoradoLuckyDog thought it would be a good idea to repost these close to the seaon openers and I agreededthat I would send these pictures back out to remind everyone to check their arrows and equipment often for defects. As most of you know I have arrow shatter and go into my left hand that was 4-3-07. It has been a long4.5 months But I can say that I am @ 95% and feeling good.
Crappy picture but the one from the ER!!

My club!!

One week after injury!!



The remains of the arrow!


The piece that they removed from my palm almost 16 weeks after the injury!!


Please all be safe out there wheter it be in the woods or the backyard...I do not what to see another one of these real soon!!

HAPPY HUNTING!!!!

Marty

was there a reason they waited 16 weeks to take that piece out? please dont tell me that they "missed" it?

Wow! Sorry to hear about that. I couldn't imagine.

ouch, you can shoot now right?

Yea, can you draw a bow back?

Check'em everytime..thanks to you! I'vefound 2bad ICS hunters this week while checking them. 1 was creaky with spiltting fibers the other snapped in my hands!

They were not sure if the lump was scar tissue or the arrow so they weanted to wait a bit. But the Doc was shocked she could miss such a piece. She said the hand was sucha mess inside that after 2.5 hours of surgery she did not want to go anyfarter for the risk of damagaing nerves.

And yes I can shoot without any problems. When I am done shoting my hand is a bit sore...but the therapist says it is great exercise!!

OUCH!!!! [:@]

That hurts just looking at it GooseHunter JR. I'll be careful and check my arrows over real good.....if memory serves me right I had 1 arrow that had a stress crack on it some where? Dang...now I'm going to be worried to death where that bad arrow is in my pile of misc arrows?

HOLLY CRAP!!!!
Sorry 'bout that, man!
I'll check my 2-yr old arrows first thing tomorrow!
Good luck this year.
