<P>This morning I wanted to shoot out back, so I grabbed a bow and some arrow's (carbon) and headed out. First arrow was as perfect as it could be. The second made a very odd sound when I released the string. I felt a horrible pain from my ware my thumb joins my hand that went on between thumb and fore finger . I looked up at the sky and thought "ok maybe that didn't just happen". Well it did. I am lucky that I only had small strips of carbon splinters&nbsp;and a good deep scratch as a lesson to BEND THE ARROW before I shoot.&nbsp;I was sure I got out, and very lucky that it did not just go&nbsp;straight through like that one picture going around the archery web sites.&nbsp;</P>

<P>yee-ouch! Ya got lucky there. That coulda hurt.</P>

You talking about the one that the feathers sticking out of MY hand, and OLD RC laughing and talking on the PHONE??? Didn't hurt going in,&nbsp; but had 15 to 25 people watching the Dr. take it out in 3 pieces!<br>
