Hey i think i have that bow! but anyway how the hell does that happen?! to long of a draw length for too short an arrow?
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.

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.

I think this thread should have been titled Why some guys shouldn't shoot a bow period. 8)
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"

:chuckle::yeah: 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.

:yeah: 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 :chuckle:
