Wow, that would really sucks. Congrats on your win, and congrats on not having your hand tore in half.

Wow.... Now that is some green grass..... Do you fertilize? Perhaps aerate? :D

That is 100 shades of green greener than my yard..... Guess the old saying is true, the grass is always greener on the otherside....... Especially if your name is Terrelle Pryor


Congrats on the big win!

RE: Carelessness almost cost me today!
 

wow glad to hear you weren't hurt. that must have been scary when it blew up

RE: Carelessness almost cost me today!
 

Yeah it was a treat.........but I wouldn't have wanted to be one of the other guys there as well.

One guy (who I don't know personally) pulled out his BRAND NEW "brand X" bow........(I'll leave name-brands out but it was a 2008 binary cam style bow)
He wanted to show someone on the practice range how the cam timing looked and POW!!![:-]
I was just around the corner out of sight and it sounded like someone got shot with a .22 I looked over just in time to see a piece of cable guard bounce across the parking lot.
I had never seen anything like it........the upper cam cable post had sheered completely off at full draw flush with the cam surface letting the bow just come unglued. The people he was showing it too confirmed that he didn't dry fire it or anything, that cam part just snapped off. [:-]
String and cable spaghetti and a few odds and ends hanging off.

This was a brand new bow that he said he didn't even get to fire a shot out of yet, he bought it yesterday and JUST pulled it out of the case to sight in.....so technically THAT guy had a worse day than I had. :D

Congrats on the title Matt, but more importantly... we're all very glad you're alright.

WEW....its like wearing your Harness Strap when you're in a tree....Always do it...

Glad yer ok...

Glad to hear you came out unscathed, Matt. Congratulations on the win, as well.

I had the same thing happen with a GT arrow this past summer. Knocked a chunk of concrete out of the wall in the range at Sportsman's with the insert end of the shaft. [&:]

Congrats on the win Matt. I cant imagine the accuracy it takes to shoot that well. I couldnt even come close.

RE: Carelessness alost cost me today!
 

Yeah I couldn't (well sadly I guess I COULD) imagine how much force that fletched end could have hit my hand with after seeing it chunk the corner of a solid aluminum mounting block.

I keep having visions of that thing driven through my hand and popping out between my fingers somewhere.[:o]
The sliver of carbon that was shot through my shirt was enough. That one long sliver was basically like 1/64" from being driven into the back of my hand.
