DONT LET THIS HAPPED TO YOU!
 

A guy I know lost the use of one eye while shooting his bow. While going thru the long process of trying to save his injured eye he said that he met 3 other people who also recieved eye injuries while shooting their bows. Always wear eye protection while shooting. unless seeing isnt that important to you. good luck hunting.

How did he injure it?? What did he do??

RE: DONT LET THIS HAPPED TO YOU!
 

If I were to guess, I'd say that his peep wasn't tied in.

Im donna take a guess at this and say that he was shooting a peep with the rubber tubing and it came back into his eye?????

The only thing i can think of???

he told me it was his peep but he didnt explain it in detail and I didnt press him for more info. He warned me to always protect myeyes and the eye doctor said it is a quite common injury. he was lucky to save his eye but can only see shadows now.

Sometimes in target shooting, people just use aluminim peeps (no rubber tubing) and do not tie them in. This is dangerous because the peep can come out, at the shot, and bounce off of the limb and right back into your eye.[:o]
