I have wanted to shoot a compound bow but could not afford to buy one. A friend of mine in october last year said that I could use his due to him moving abroad and not wanting to sell it or take it with him. One friday morning last oct he comes and shows me how to do a basic setup,and to be very careful. I shake his hand, thank him and of he goes. That evening I decided to have a play with it. I start to pull the string back to my nose, I do this a few times and all is ok. At this point my partner said, give it a rest your going to do yourself some damage. I then had a go using a release aid, At full draw I ACIDENTALLY touched the release. Before I new what had happened the bow was on the floor and their was blood dripping off the ends of my fingers. I now had a nice wound on my arm. My stupid fault I was not wearing a armguard. I could not shoot my recurve for 3 weeks due to the pain.
The moral of this story is DONT PLAY WITH COMPOUNDS UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING. I will be having lessons at the end of march........
