RE: Freak Accident Last Night
Seems I always think of this every year. Last year someone on here had a major problem when that happened. SAme deal his tendons were messed and at the time he wasn't sure if he would even have full use of his hand. I can't remember who that was.
Anyway when I do think of that I have a hard time shooting my bow as I am afraid to release almost like I am anticipating it happening. Makes me wish carbon was't my choice. |

RE: Freak Accident Last Night
ORIGINAL: MN/Kyle ORIGINAL: FLboy77 I was shooting my bow last night and had just shot two good arrows and had the third at fulldraw. When I touched the trigger....BAM!!! I looked down and my thumb is bleeding. I took my glove off (practicing with them on) and I have pieces of carbon arrow stuck in my thumb and I and bleeding all over the place. I run inside and get my sister and we stop the bleeding and call my parents who were not home. They came home and took me to the er. Long story short they took somexrays pulled out the 6-7 pieces that were in my thumb. Two of the pieces were about 2" long and sticking into my tendon!! I have to see a hand surgon and he will decide whether or not there are still pieces in my thumb. I think I know what happend. The arrow I was shooting had a crack right were the cresting stops and when I realesed it broke and slammed into my thumb pushing the fragments into my thumb. Moral of the story: Always check your arrows for cracks and imperfections before shooting. Ive got some cool pics I can put up later. I hope this dosent mess up my weekend hunting plans. Pray that it doesnt!!! And hope all is well for hunting this weekend! Austin, that was the thing I was mostly mad about!! |

RE: Freak Accident Last Night
Damn that musta hurt!
Hopefully you're well on your way to a speedy recovery! |
RE: Freak Accident Last Night
I have not heard of this happening with carbon arrows before. i have seen pictures of where a guy tried to shoot fiberglass arrows through a fast bow and the splinters shot up his hand. Hope you have a speedy recovery so you wont have to waste a season.
