I was shooting my longbow day before yesterday and noticed that one of the Cat-whiskers looked like it was coming undone. Since I had a pretty good group going I took the last arrow from my quiver and sent it on it's way. I immediatetly felt a terrible sting on my eye. Apparently a piece of the rubber Cat-whisker flew off and struck my closed eye. My eye stung quite a bit but I finished my shooting session. Upon enternig the house for dinner my daughter pointed at my eye and commented on how gross it looked. Looking in the mirror I saw that I had a huge blood blister on the white part of my eye. What if my eye had been open was my first thought. Anyway rest assurd that I will always check them Cat-whiskers before shooting. The funny thing is that my shooting remains just as bad after being struck.
