First pic is fake, why is the fletching before the rest of the arrow

i dunno about it being fake.... looks pretty real, check out the finger, could have lower fletchings? maybe he tried using a bolt?

Just from him coming to full draw then watching his arrow flop out to the tight bouncing off his hand them him panicking and letting go.... I've almost done this one time picking up arrows from 3d tourneys thinking they were mine.

there is a riser to one side! the other way it falls off the string!

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.

we got a winner

it happens alot with todays fast bows.

My dad shot a 5-10$ arrow from his Hoyt Charger 65lbs.  It was a 400 gram arrow and it exploded on his wrist and luckily for him all he got was a nasty wap on the wrist from the arrow and the debris was shot down range.  I was standing next to him and pieces went wizzin by my head.  I told him it was time to stop buying cheap no name arrows and upgrade, for both our sakes.

Looks like the string derailed, notice how its limp not tight, that's why it looks funny.

I think this thread should have been titled Why some guys shouldn't shoot a bow period.

I have to make sure my wife never sees these pictures, she will never let me go bow hunting again

I seen that 2nd pic before, and every since I seen that pic I've always flexed my arrows while listening for cracks, and run my fingers along to feel for any hitches. 


Also got some other guys doing the same thing now too,  so to whom ever that mangled hand belongs too my hats off to you bro

Here is an oldie but goody that fits into the bowhunting title.  Though it should be "Why some guys shouldn't bowhunt...with stupid partners"

be careful after a long day of wake boarding or dirt biking. Arm pump and archery don't play well together. Although in this video the kid got what he had coming.

  I always wait a few hours after lifting before shooting my bow.  That's for practicing in a realistic environment though.  Not because I'm afraid my left arm will crumple like a noodle like that idiot's
