LOL - holy smoke man!  I'll bet there is a very tiny population of people that have actually shot themselves in the face with a broadhead and lived to tell about it.

Hehe - glad you're ok.

I think that is one penetration test that should be avoided! We sure are having fun at your expense Brack....

Not to worry, the bone is thick right there.

Murphys` law... anything that CAN go wrong...will.

Once several years back, I was "sharpening" an already scary sharp Zwickey, that was mounted on a wood shaft, and my new wife bumped into the shaft hanging out behind me, and drove the head into my leg. Almost ZERO pain, and almost ZERO clotting ability.

I promise to learn from your mistake, if you promise to learn from mine. Don`t assume the person walking behind you will not bump into your arrow.

I am still here guys, just laughing at all the responses.  In order to make myself feel better, I need to hear someone elses stupid stories.  Certainly I aint the only one who has done this.  Well, actually I probably am, but how about some others?

Not a broadhead story but... was at GLLI years ago with the Missus. She picks up an ulu and with a cute little flick of her wrist asks me what it is. I HEARD the ulu cut my elbow, never felt it, it was that sharp. Bled like crazy and then she didn't even buy it for me! She saw one for sale somewhere yesterday and I almost went and hid!

Yep, some things you just have to lie about and take to the grave, and this is one of 'em.  Tig

While not a broadhead, my friend(he may read this) was sharpening/shaping a knife he had just made on a grinder and somehow it caught the wheel and it flew up and stabbed him right through the top of the nose.  

Pretty scary!  Lots and lots of blood, but somehow he was lucky and it missed everything that mattered and just ended up with stitches and a nice scar oh, and a $1500 ER bill because he thought it was worse than it was.

It could've been a lot worse for both of you!

Those are a couple of painful stories right there!  Makes me feel a little better.  Those grinders are dang scary, never gave em much of a thought until now.  You can bet I will be a little more careful after today.

I don't see an 'S' shape, so I'm assuming the BH had a double bevel.
