Dangers of overdrawing....

Psychobiker

Found this while wondering about on one of my usual haunts (archery-interchange.com)

NOT FOR THE UNEASY OF STOMACH

The one with the arrow sticking out of the guys head is a bit gory. Look at the pic of the broadhead after it was removed from his head - is that a piece of skull stuck to the broadhead? :eek:

lilRedSmurf

Oh Jesus thats just nasty!
The shards from the carbons sticking out through many parts of hand is just down right gross...

May just blow them up for the unsuspecting newbies...
"Heres what happens when you dont do what we tell you !!!"

MuchSavage

i think that might scare them to the point of no return...... it would scare the bejesus out of me!!! ouch!!!

It is pretty nasty i have to say, id be afraid some of the newbies might think it was "bleeding deadly"!

Psychobiker

Yeah, I think I was telling Padraig of the carbon-through-the-fingers....
We really ought to blow them up, I mean there was one guy dicking about the last day that could've hurt someone (No, not me and my awful aim ) and when you see a piece of what looks like skull on a broadhead...that'll shut mouths fast.

*phew* I thought I'd lost my Tool ticket in the move *mops brow*

there are two lessons to be learned here.
1:- Inspect your equipment regularly
2:- Dont let stupid yanks hunt anywhere near you.

Psychobiker

Lol.

Psychobiker

BrianD3 - I do believe that that is skull. "THe arrow pierced his skull..." it said in the report

baggins

yeah, my limited medical knowledge suggests that in cases like that they cut the bone away around the foreign body

Psychobiker

Hmm. Overdrawing also results in bad credit rating.

connemara man

yes the warnings like dont piss of Paul.

or Vachn.

it may seem like fun at the time could end up with some disastrous after effects.

Psychobiker

Yes. Navi @ 300fps + one's buttocks = some discomfort.

And get used to Paul's flowery vocabulary on missing a shot

Renegade_Archer

Vachn's bark is worse than her bite... no matter how much she may threaten me, I can always just sit on her / pick her up and do a lap of the room with her over my shoulder etc...

Psychobiker

*declines to comment*

Valid point though Renegade

connemara man

whose arrows got subsequently taken for that lap of honour.

and if memory serves me correctly was in a bit of a sulk about it.

Psychobiker

I shall be misappropriating the grant on a PSE 80# compound

lilRedSmurf

Trust me my navigators to all your whiney little bums are worse then any bark of dear sweet little Pauls....



and dont tempt me renegade... You may not enjoy the result....:p

It was a calculated move to get my arrows back... it worked

When I "went off in a huff", I walked over to the organisers and asked if we were having a hotshot

how many times have you told yourself that to make yourself feel better

dont forget lying to yourself is a lot worse then lying to others

ok then...

Did I or did I not get my arrows handed back to me? Instead of having to chase Jen around?

People are not always as they appear.

Psychobiker

All this malarkey! Can't everyone just get along

Did someone get a Navigator where Navigators were never meant to navigate? Who pitched it and who caught it?

Psychobiker

Luckily/sadly, depending on the connotation, I have not experienced such posterial discomfort as of yet.
