Brackshooter,

Glad to hear no long term or serious injury but, I'm curious how this happened. When using a paper wheel (or any power tool) for sharpening, the wheel/belt should be spinning away from you and the broadhead so that if it ever does grab likes yours did, the blade will be thrown away from you rather than back at you. Is this how you were doing it? Just curious,

Men occasionally stumble over the truth,but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing ever happened.
