So for the first time this year I'm shooting on my home field and there's no force nine gale blowing. No wind, its perfectly calm.
Today I tackle 80 yrds in preparation for a Bannockburn New Warwick. Dial in 1.0 on my sight and shoot ... thats low in the wood. I had forgotten that every sight mark I have was achieved in nasty winds and I'm consistently shooting low in the calm.
So we wander to the target, the boss is taken down, a screwdriver blade is inserted into the wood and as the crack is eased apart I pull ...
... Now as I pull I twist slightly and my right leg, which was out of the way of any rearward moving arrow (I know I checked), is suddenly skewered by my fast rearward moving navigator (anyone know why G-nock pin nocks need a really sharp tip?)
So here we are 10 hours later and I'm still leaking a bit. Frankly I think there's more blood soaked into our field (like I'm going to stop shooting for a flesh wound) than in my veins and I'm worried that I now have an arrow that's tasted human blood.
Worth a Fonz? It was done without a bow but I did manage to insert my own arrow into my own thigh ...backwards!
