Skull Shot
« on: January 13, 2011, 10:46:39 AM »
 Not sure if you guys have seen this or not. I'm guessing the guy fell on this arrow but I can't find any info on it. Cool pics though. Looks like a NAP Thunderhead. I think that if it'd been shot, it would have penetrated much, much more.

I got these pics in an email a long time ago with a story that the guys brother shot him.  Story goes they were hunting and saw a deer when "shooter brother" standing behind "shooty Brother" drew his bow and accidentally shot him from point blank range.  That is supposedly why it didn't penetrate any further than it did.

Oh.. And where's that photo shopped Moose that's ten feet tall.

Or the Rams that fell off the cliff with the Cougar in chase that also perished at the road below.

Can't remember where I saw it but the story was this guy was on the bottom tree stand video taping and the guy above him shot him in the back of the head by accident. I think it was on Tv on a hunting show, Not sure but that was the story then. Mike

If my eyes are seeing correctly the broad head in the dudes head is a 4 blade. So the one with just the skull fragment is three blade, and has not peneatrated the skull like the four blade in dudes skull.  :twocents: :yike:

Picture #4, doesn't belong in this series.  In the first 3 pics, the broadhead is stuck in this guys skull to the base of the broadhead/end of the arrow.  In picture #4, only half of the broadhead is through that piece of bone, and yes, it does appear to be a 4 blade broadhead in the first 3 pics.

I wish the moderators would shut this stupid post down.  I'm not a squeamish guy, but looking at those photos makes me SICK!  To say this was an accident is total CRAP!  The person that shot that arrow shold be charged with wreckless endangerment at the very least, if he hasn't been charged with a crime already.
