bonecollector Report post Posted August 14, 2015 Also with these carbon arrows you need to flex them. They can blow up on release. A guy I know had that happen last year at the Sunrise shoot. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rossislider Report post Posted August 14, 2015 Also with these carbon arrows you need to flex them. They can blow up on release. A guy I know had that happen last year at the Sunrise shoot. Had one blow up on me a few years ago. The string, which was almost new, popped at full draw. My bow limbs went flying and the arrow shattered into more pieces than I could find. I was lucky. Lots of small cuts on my arms and face from the bits of carbon fiber. But fortunately I had glasses on. Messed up my glasses, but they protected my eye. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lancetkenyon Report post Posted August 14, 2015 I used to shoot an overdraw back when they became popular. I dropped an arrow off the rest during a javalina hunt, and pushed the broadhead across my hand when I let down. Cut from the top of my thumb down to the first knuckle of my pointer finger. Being 2 miles from the truck made me nervous. I was bleeding like a stuck pig, which is what I was tracking when I did it. I found the pig, gutted it and packed it back to the truck. Called my wife on the way home and had her meet me at the hospital to get the pig back to the house and in the freezer while I was waiting for the Dr. 27 stiches. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Non-Typical Solutions Report post Posted August 14, 2015 No blood? I wondered about that as well......maybe sitting with the Dr all cleaned up??? That is why I said if it was real or not......hurts like heal just looking at it.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
QhunterAZ Report post Posted August 14, 2015 Ouch. Looks like a bad overdraw combined with poor hand position. I dont see carbon fibers poking out olaces at least.Seems no one taught the right things to that guy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest akaspecials Report post Posted August 15, 2015 My uncle did a similar thing. It involved a few too many beers and accidentally picking up his grandson's arrow which was an inch shorter than his. He pulled back and flung the arrow and shot himself through the hand just like that. We still give him crap over it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Same thing happened to my buddy , exact same thing.. Fortunately for him he came out unharmed not one scratch.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Str8Shot Report post Posted August 17, 2015 OUCH is right makes you cringe looking at it .. Brings back memories of chasing down my brother as kids and getting a deflected wooden arrow through the meat between thumb and index finger .... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
