I knew better and fired a cracked arrow out of a 56# longbow and the whole arrow blew up in the release..I mean like shattered into splinters. Anyway the last 1/4 of the arrow and the string slapped into my arm right behind the the arm guard and fortunately the arm guard keep the shattered piece of shaft and the string from doing further damage to my wrist. At least the is what appears to have happened. I know dumb move...but I was winding down for the evening and had an old beater arrow...and I thought it would break on impact...not blow up in the release. This was a couple of days ago...so it appears to be healing. Sorry the pic is a bit grainy. but you get the idea.
