Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Bowhunting crossbows

Hi I was practicing with my 10 point cross bow and happened to leave my thumb sticking up. the string hit it and almost tore the end off including 1/4th of the nail so be careful.. they should have a guard on the forearm to keep people with long fingers from getting them whacked. anyone else have this problem??? thanks Hubert <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Thankfully not yet. I will be even more careful after hearing your story.

Were you able to hang on to the blasted thing after it tore your thumb off? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Or did you sling it out of the tree?

I layed it down fairly gently. my thumb was numb and diden't hurt that much. it is almost healed, but I am going to have a divit on my thumb where a piece of meat was. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
