Jim in Maine, my head isn't THAT blockish. Ha, just kidding, it is.
It was a stupid move, hope everybody thinks twice now.Worse than taking my eye out...I might have damaged my bow!
 Shoot well gentlemen!

i used to unstring my bow like fred bear did, until after a night of bowfishing i tried to do it and my hand slipped. the limb came flying back and popped me in the bridge of the nose. broke my nose and gave me a monster gash. plus i bled like a stuck hog.

good to hear your ok. and yeah, be careful

Don't mean to steal your thread but I went to two eye specialists today. Last night I was using the push method with my instep that I had done for 30 years and wham. The nock hit my eyebrow, lid, and then smashed the lower part of my nose. Very ugly this morning but the Docs say I will have full vision back. Glad you are OK. I feel really stupid this morning.
I was just able to start reading again a few minutes ago and couldn't believe this thread, had to comment, strange. At least you were using a stringer, I should have known better.
