    Do you know where this happened? A couple weeks ago at Bass Pro in Massachusetts someone shot an arrow right through their arm just like that. I know they sell that exact bow there too. The moron at the store gave the guy an arrow that was too small and he drew it back right past the rest and let it go.

    He obviously was not shooting a rage, or it would have been a complete pass thru. On a serious note, ouch!

    there will be once that arrow gets pulled out. plus it depends on what it hit internally.

    +1, no doubt another case where longer shafts are better!!! :D


    As was said above, once the arrow is pulled out the bleeding will start. A good lesson on why we want pass-throughs rather than non-pass-throughs!!!

    My guess is the guy who drew the bow was over-bowed and couldn't let down easy....

    I agree. lol! if something like that could only happen to me. do you think he'll get it mounted? That would look cool next to a deer head.
