A sobering lesson for all of us. Thank you for sharing and good to see you back. Glad you are on the mend.

Brother It's very good that you are back. And you are a great friend. Always ahead. 👊😊🏹

Ah sh*t man! That gotta hurt BAD. Glad you are healed and ready to join for some action again.

Damn! That must have hurt! Glad to see you’re on the mend. Good reminder for all of us of what can happen. Hope you heal up well Mate, glad you can still shoot, I learn a lot from your videos. 🙏👍

I've seen this happen, a couple of weekends back at the club (I was the one that did the first aid to the guy). The problem comes mostly from the source of the arrows... Buying them from Amazon is a risk because most of the time you're not sure of the quality control - if any - the seller did... It's messed up I know :( It's one of the reasons why we tend to source them from the most legit sources and brands possible! It was something that used to happen with some frequency back in the old days when the sport became more common... Nowadays it's mostly if they're really old arrows. Hope you recover fully soon, brother! Stay strong!

ouch! happy You're healing and Thanks for sharing the story that is a complete freak of an accident and it just goes to show the energies involved when we're throwing arrows. as You say it's just not worth taking chances with it, never mind the financial costs involved being able bodied is a priceless gift which most of us blessed that way take for granted. so that being said, really happy that You are healing and also stoked to see You outside throwing arrows again. take care Brother and all the best to You and your beautiful wife. ❤

Oh man I’m so sorry to hear what happened. I’m glad you’re ok. Welcome back

God sped your full recovery Brother🙏💯🙏💯

Glad you're recovering from such an unfortunate event. Thank you for sharing this. We always need reminding of safety because we can get too comfortable through lack of incident at times 🏹🏹🏹

I was just telling my son bend and roll each arrow before each shot. Especially if you’re shooting tight groups slapping arrows Together. It takes a couple seconds to test each arrow. Learn from your mistakes and bend and roll each arrow. It happens more than you think. I’ve seen tons of pictures and videos. Flex each arrow

Great video, helps us all learn. Glad you're doing okay.

I’m one of those million guys. Had an arrow break around the same area but it hit me between my thumb and index finger, when up and through the joint of my index finger and got stuck there. Absolutely horrible accident I know the feeling man.

Holy cow dude! That's, horrendous and just validated one of my own worst nighmares. Hope you have a speedy recovery and get back to 110%

Brother, you didn't know me from Adam but i truly feel for you having had that happen. An arrow breaking like that, mid shot, has been one of my biggest nightmares ever since i first heard it can happen. Thanks for sharing your horrific experience and using it to educate other archers so they can hopefully avoid it happening to them. That's loving your neighbor as yourself in practice! Prayers for your full recovery, both physical and mental. Losing functionality in any capacity really does a number on ya. Stay faith filled and positive.

So glad you are.ok ¡! Crazy how things happen so fast ... get well man

I much prefer Forrester wood shafted arrows especially because they are so tough and accurate. Tubular arrows (including bamboo) can inflict terrible wounds if we are in a hurry and let a damaged shaft get by us. The worst tubular arrow wounds are straight fiber carbon and bamboo, which breaks into dozens of mini micro spears which truly can destroy hand and arm tendons, ligaments and blood vessels. Wear an armguard, so what if someone razzes us for wearing one. It’s smart to realize that freak accidents can happen the more we shoot.

Man, that is awful. Sorry to hear that, I did not know you were going through that and I’m sure it has been tough. It is definitely something to think about as we shoot over and over using the same arrows as we continue to hit our arrows when shooting multiple arrows in a tight group and then bouncing them off things. But again that is a good reason to wear an arm guard as well, even though we get to where we do not think we need them because we do not get string slap, but that guard could have saved you from all of that. Take care and God bless.

That’s a crazy story ! Hopefully you make i back to 100%, thanks for sharing, god bless!

Man, I’m still shocked that happened. Glad to see you in good spirits and on the mend. Hey, hey,! The shirt fits! 😄 Best wishes to you and your family:) 🙇🏻👊🫵💪🏹

I had a wooden shaft blow up and go through my hand back in the 80s. I don’t use wooden narrows anymore but I do still check arrows real close.

WOW! I'm planning on getting a Turkish bow and learn shooting fast with that. I've been buying carbon arrows too. After seeing this I think I will get an arm guard to protect my arm from this one in a million accident. Thanks for sharing!

Wow! Terrible, hate to hear it. I use cheap, generic, shafts myself. I always figured the longbow would be fine, but you have me rethinking my choices. Glad you are doing better

Ive been wanting to try some cheaper arrows but I've heard horror stories like this. I know there are trustworthy companies out of China that make them, but I still hesitate. Thanks for going through what happened in detail- I subbed as im trying to learn more about traditional archery.

Heal up brother.

Wow that was no joyride I'm sure ... thank God it wasn't worse than it was! People love to shoot real heavy bows, and that's cool, but never under estimate a 30, 35, or 40 lb bow ... They can still kill with the right shot. Anyway glad your mending & God bless!

Archery bracer would have protected where that hit, not criticism, I actually shoot without one too... but this video made me think maybe having a full arm bracer is worth it... its only an extra 10 seconds to put on, take off after shooting... 1 in a million also isn't rare, thats like enough a well practiced archer can expect it to happen a couple of times in their lifetime.

had almost the same failure and injury i got lucky as it hit bone and bounced out and did not travel through cost me a ct scan though as i hit a major vein and bled like an artery but it was not fortunately, My wife saved my bacon as well glad you are healing i flex check the crap out of my arrow now (= my failure was from shooting tight groups and not flex checking every time they touch

Glad you’re ok man that looks painful man! Don’t loose your hobby, maybe wear armored arm and glove

I have the exact same arrows with no problems so far. You have such a long draw -fast release you may have snagged the tip on your bow on release, or I just havent found my bad arrow yet.

Brother please start wearing a good leather bracer this would of stopped alot of the damage caused to your arm. Thanks for sharing your story also. A solid reminder of how dangerous our sport can be

Nerve damage is the worst. I'm a disabled vet and I have 2 plates and 9 screws in my face. The whole left side of my face has massive nerve damage. I live with constant pain and having nerves firing off constantly with hot/cold burning numbness can drive one insane (15 years now). I recently now have nerve damage in my right thumb-have no clue how it happened but now it's so hard to shot with thumb release. I wish you luck my friend damaged nerves just make life so hard and one of the few things in life I love to do is archery. I hope you can get back to where you were before this all happened to you and enjoy that love of the perfect shot.

Speedy recovery . . .

For reasons just as this, is why I still use aluminum arrows. They are just safer.

That is horrible and definitely had nothing to do with something you did. Sounds like a manufacturing error. Just glad you are ok now and didnt get hurt worse. Thank you for sharing I'll be more cautious with everything from now on.

Nasty but glad your on the mend, are wooden arrows or bamboo arrows more stable than carbon?

Just a thought that came to mind - is it possible, that the arrow tip was already stuck in the target when the bow was still pushing the arrow and therefor breaking it at that spot?

07:00 Ok, im probably giving up on archery now, never knew a broken arrow can do so much damage.

That sucks man, but keep going if you can, you're too good to slow down 🤗

Hang in there buddy your arm will slowly heal especially if you keep working it with various tasks and the nerves will heal more and more. I am living proof of a shattered left arm being surgically repaired and then a year of daily occupational hand therapy from highly trained specialists. The surgeon said I will never shoot the bow again. God and I together proved him wrong, my first arrow in front of our Amish friends was to hit the aerial soda pop can stuffed with dirt that little Jacob threw high in the air. All glory to God is all I can say.

never buy arrows from a place that doesnt store items properly. if they got to hot in a container could have been an issue. things to think about. i buy alot from amazon but arrows is something ive never considered.

Thanks for sharing and speedy recovery to you, im gonna giving up archery now, damaged nerves and semi-paralyzed hand is just way too much risk. I will probably switch to throwing knives/light javelin and stuff, thats way safer.

Nasty brother. It will take time but the nerves can heal. I took a blender blade through my boot in the back of my van years ago. The inside of my big toe still has some numbness. Probably better to not go cheap with archery gear I reckon

Wow..shaft just failed...ScArY!!!!! Yikes..

That is such an unfortunate turn of events and thank you for taking us STEP BY STEP to dispel any unnecessary questions. You’re still shooting amazing on your first few days back. Can’t wait to see you continue 🏹🍻

Did you know you can buy very high quality arrows that use aluminum shafts? Aluminum does not splinter, it does not crack, and I have never seen one that somehow "folded" up on release. I had a wood shaft splinter into my hand and could not shoot for YEARS I was so frightened of it happening again. When I did get over it I used aluminum or did not shoot. I know this was a bad accident but it pales to some of the pictures I have seen of carbon arrows letting go. Do a search if you think I am exaggerating. The notion that you can somehow bend a carbon shaft and actually tell if it is compromised is ludicrous as if people have the hearing of a wild animal or ex-ray vision like superman. I know it doesnt happen as often as it use to but all it takes is 1 employee having a bad day. I know I'm gonna get flamed for this but if I couldnt shoot aluminum, I wouldnt shoot.

I had a string snap at full draw once I just as I released the arrow the arrow ended up going sideways through the wisker biscuit snapping it off and busting the arrow in half then the top limb popped out off

Im glad u are ok and yes AF bows are terrible for their draw weights. Too me its dishonesty. Anyways im glad that u can move your hand again

his is why i told you not support TEMU, Amazon or Aliwateva. Those Companys destroy our local small Archery Shops. Get Well soon and nice to see you Back.

Don't use carbon.

can a broken wooden arrow also cause so much damage ?

That's a bad deal but let's make something clear. I fletch thousands of arrows a year. And shoot over 5k a year. I will never buy nor embrace buying arrows on Amazon. I don't like buying arrows online period. Buy quality arrows hand picked off the shelf. Through and through man I'm glad to see your on the right road for recovery and back at it.

What was the brand and spine? Not to be rude, but it sounds like you bought some cheap Chinese-made crap.
