Buck man,

If I was new to archery and went to a "pro shop" I would expect them to know what they're doing. Not give me a short arrow and consequently hand problems for the rest of my life.

Yeah, almost all of us have moved to carbon now. Back in "the good old days" of aluminum, the arrow shattering when shot didn't happen. You could have a pretty good dent in an arrow with aluminum and just designate it a "grouse/rabbit" arrow, and keep on shooting it. With carbon you could not even know and have a MAJOR problem.

Looks like it will just be flesh wounds. Heck he won't even need a wrist strap

Seen something similar before when I was a kid and overdraws were popular.  Guy draws back, arrow falls off the rest and bam! right through his hand inbetween his index finger and thumb.  Ouch.

I wouldn't keep the bow but I would take a large share of the company if that was me!

Why is it that someone always wants to get sue happy?? Is that a west side virus?

Yes it is a west side virus.  during the mass migration of people form the socialist republic of California, some of them were infected with it, and transplanted a mutant strain in Pierce, King, Whatcom, and Island counties

WTF....So much for that cup of coffee  Having cracked arrows is definately a bad idea 

[colockumelk]

Well I was gonna take my bow tomorrow. But now I'm thinking I'm gonna take my rifle.

Didn't have a choice. Got put in a rifle stand. Not a very good archery stand so went with the rifle. Plus its opening day of the gun season. Havnt hunted with a gun for a LONG time.

someone forgot to put on their thinking cap that morning.... OUCH

[carpsniperg2]

  That's got to hurt, He can't even let the bow go!

[bloodhound]

i dont know bout every one else but i would have wipped out my knife and cut the skin on the finger so i didnt have to take the bow with me.

Something very similar happened to me when I was new to archery. Carbon arrow had a crack in it and when I released, it exploded and went right through the base of my thumb...Makes me extra careful to check my arrows before each shot now:)

[jmx369]

That shooter is a natural for archery, look how he shot his thumb and finger at the same time with one arrow. That was one amazing trick shot.

A bit more KE and it would have been a "pass through".  And does it say on the riser "breaking all the rules"

Can't fix Stupid...
