Default looks like I'm a crossbow hunter for a while

I put a 3 inch cut in my grip hand today. I had a small accident with a circular saw. They said I lost a 1/8 inch strip of skin because the saw chewed it up and they had to remove it to help them close the wound. I will usind a crossbow for a while. If I make it out at all. Sorry no pics for the gore seekers.

Hope it heals quickly. Hope you can still do everything that goes with hunting.

Yup pretty lucky. No nerve damage and very little muscle damage. The saw ran right up my palm on the meaty side. Right where my grip rests.

Good luck with the crossbow. I had to hunt with my .50 ML last weekend due to a sprained elbow. Its feeling better now and I'll be back to bow hunting tomorrow. I hope you have a rapid recovery.

WS , you gotta watch those things. Did your dad lose much skin? I lost some because the saw chewed it up. I hope he is O.K. now. I'm sure it will heal fast. It has been itching all day.

Keep it clean and follow the Dr's orders! It will heal just fine. In the meantime, get out the old Barnett Quad 400 and get yourself your deer.

I'll be using an old Browning this weekend. I will get my Tenpoint back from my father in-law when we go up there next week. I will then give it back to him on Thanksgiving. I shouldn't need it by then.
