So much for the Whisker biscuit being a full containment rest! Maybe his "Pro shop" sold him crossbow bolts with his new Bowtech!

I've seen some pictures with the same thing,,,,just brutal! bet ya he's going to be a little more watchful now,,always looking and second guessing the next shot

[wideopenthrottle]

heheheh...yep u r right.. I bet he now has a bit of a bow flinch

He will be picking carbon fiber bits for years. You have to check your arrows, can't be too short that is a given. I don't check mine after every shot like they tell you to do on the arrows, but I check them after every miss or hard impact etc. and I check them all when I get home from shooting always, only takes about 2 minutes. If I miss a 3-D target (very rare) ha ha) I look at the point and see if it is damaged, then I see if the nock backed out a bit and push it forward, I also squeeze the nock to make sure it is not cracked then flex the arrow 3 or 4 times then a visual down the shaft for cracks etc. Can't be to care full. Cheers Roscoe

those arrows will be fine use a overdraw :roll:

[Carrollizer]

I dont even understand how you would manage that...does he not have an arrow rest and just shot it in his hand, arrow too short and fell out of the rest... wtf

[walks with deer]

owey...broken shaft for sure

[PKernohan]

.....ugh.....that would suck!

[buddyrip]

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!

[303savage]

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

This picture first appeared on the internet in 2011. This was the accompanying text.

"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!
