 |
This photo was taken on a cell phone last week after the guy took his friend to Bass Pro Shop to buy his first bow.
The clerk was 'assisting' him in zeroing it in, and, after shooting several arrows, making adjustments etc., the clerk accidently handed him an arrow that was too short. When he drew back, the arrow tip fell down onto his hand and he somehow released it.
They rode to the hospital with the bow in his buddy's hand because it impaled his finger also!
They are both archery amateurs (I'm thinking the clerk is also?). I don't think the guy who got shot ever had held a bow prior, let alone shoot one...OUCH, OWIES, OW OW OW!
Cheers, Vince

I hope he gets to keep the darned thing after that, heck he's got his own blood on it. I think that would be equal compensation don't you?

From the looks of it it missed the bones, so it should heal up fine. But OUCH!!!
The luck of it all going wrong.

Don't let a grown man use an undersized arrow?
Don't let an amateur teach another amateur how to use bow?
Guns are safer then bow and arrows?
I could keep going, but why ruin the fun of other people adding their points. Don't forgot to make them funny, let's laugh at his pain while we can still enjoy it. Before one of us does something stupider which we will all then laugh at!
