    I'm a little odd that way, I like my arrow length about 3" past the riser for more than one reason. Speed is everything to some. Maybe he was just checking out somebody elses arrows, ooops!

    owey...broken shaft for sure

    Most of the pics I see of broken shaft injuries, there are usually a few carbon fibers showing in the wound I think that injury was from a too short of an arrow

    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!
    I have learned silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind; yet strange, I am ungrateful to those teachers.
