Do you guys not utilize one of those releases that won't allow the archer to trigger an actual release? We have one of those at our shop (it's blue).

The guys at my shop still make me use this when they're adjusting ANYTHING on my bow.

Corporate won't/hasn't sent us one, Jeff. We're stuck using an actual release.

You'd be suprised the things we can't get.

Robb, the rest I had just put on this guy's bow was a WB.

well my question exactly why did he have an arrow too short? And why did'nt you tell him to just let down instead of putting your hand in there? Anyhow hope you heal fast. Good luck and let there be a lesson learned there!

Dan:

I'd look up the "release" I mention and order one, MYSELF.....lol.

sounds to me you handled that better than i would have, i would have punched the kid in the mouth
maybe im a bad person for doing so but jeeze..

ryan.

I may just do that after today, Jeff.

What company makes it?

Not sure, Dan.....but I can find out for you (tomorrow). I'll ask Greg.

I can't imagine it being very expensive.

Glad you are ok Dan. You the man, saving his bow from the dry fire by sacrificing your wrist..[&:]

wow.............I would have kept this story to myself....I would say your just as much to blame as the customer. Just think of the lawsuit you would have had if the arrow would have went through the customers hand.... You would probably have some free time for job hunting....

HAHA i know it's wrong to laugh but i bet that hurt like a biotch!! I hope ya get better man, and also hope it didn't do any damage to your wrist. In all seriousness, you REALLY may want to get that checked out by a physician(or you could be macho, like most of us guys) just in case. I'm not sure I'd trust someone either. And let me tell you one thing I learned very early in my career, don't trust ANYONE to have common sense. The fact that people are killed every day by "unloaded" guns than loaded guns proves my point very easily.
