To short of arrow for the set draw length.  Typically this is avoidable with a compound as you have a solid back.  More of an option with a long bow or recurve if someone can draw it way back.

You think there'd be a LOT more blood then that... Ouch

There will be when the arrow comes out.

Something isn't quite right with that picture.  Look at the shaft to the left of the fletching.................ie there shouldn't be shaft, it should be the nock.

It's just a Quick fletch that came undone.

Looks like he drew down and the arrow went in.

Carbon arrows that are damaged and then shot will allow these horrific injuries to happen as well. I think it happens more commonly then most of us realize. With todays fast bows and the trend for lighter faster arrows it is very important that we remember to flex test all of our carbon arrows before shooting. Also visually inspect the nocks for damage. Carbon arrows that are damaged and then shot will allow these horrific injuries to happen as well.

I know  I meant it would have been a clean passthrough if he had more KE

i think it's kinda funny his hand will be stuck to the bow until the arrow is cut. ouch! the splintered arrows look like they did more damage though. atleast he was using target tips
