RE: Ugh, dear friends finger ripped up!!!
well at least I dont feel so dumb. Tore a section of my thumb off shortly after purchasing my crossbow. Won't happen again, I added a piece of 1/2" x 3/4" aluminum angle to each side. To get ones hand over that obstruction you need Loonngg fingers. And yes I did mine while kneeling down. Sorry to hear about your friends finger...

Well, his thumb is healing up ok, but he will be missing about an 1/8th of the meat on the outer side. And only time will tell if his thumb nail grows completely back or if he has a void there. It was so bad the he has been taking vicodene each day since it happened to easy the throbing.
