I'm a generally a clumsy person. It's not unknown for me to come home bruised and bloodied on any average day. So perhaps this instance won't help me towards a Fonz Award.
My club hosted a Halloween Shoot last night with two other clubs. We shot after dark using only small lights illuminating the bosses. We had our own arrows, but used lightweight club bows (one for each target).
One bow had a very thin string and my arrows were not nocking on them. Everytime I thought I'd sussed it, the arrow would drop off. Finally, we figured out how to keep the arrows nocked. I raised, drew and just as I was about to let go...*pop* the arrow came off the bow and flew backwards and hit me on the left cheek, just under my eye. Basically...I shot myself! :scared:
I would've been better off throwing my arrows at the target!! :thumbsdow
