I wouldn't be shocked if the shafts were cracked and the shooter didn't flex them before shooting.

The moral of this story is always shoot the correct spine for your poundage and check your arrows for damage. :yike:

This could be an over draw accident, a spine problem, or the carbon fiber was nicked and it exploded.

In an article the "shooter" stated that his arrow fell off the rest, but for some reason he decided to shoot anyway.  I dont know why he would still shoot it but I guess he's one statistic behind the merciless form of natural selection.....
I've spent most of my life hunting and fishing....the rest has been wasted

That's a good way to sell full containment arrow rests!  I'd buy the rights to that picture and put it on every package if we made rests.

Back in the days when we shot overdraws I had an arrow fall off the rest as I drew back on a big bull.  The broadhead blades rested on my knuckle and I thought a little pain was worth a big bull at 15 yards so I took the shot.  Seemed like a perfectly good compromise at the time.  An hour later it was A LOT!!! of pain and no dead bull. :bash:  Wife says I'm still as stupid as ever, just a little wiser now.

He asked, Do you ever give a short simple answer?  I replied, "Nope."
