i also hope she is okay. you should never leave a child alone no matter how safe he or she is when shooting a bow.my son has been taught safety since he was old enough to hold a play gun ,but i want let him shoot alone and hes 12 years old now. always look at what is behind your target you can never be to safe.

I didn't say anything about this in my earlier post. But after hearing the story, the first thing that popped into my mind was a kid shooting a bow that is too big, and/or too much draw weight. Only reason I say that is because I've seen kids several times at 3-D shoots, or just at a range that when they go to pull their bow back, their bow arm is waving up in the air, or swaying way left and right, obviously too much poundage for them. I once switched groups during a 3-D shoot because a younger kid in our group would darn near fall over trying to get his bow drawn. Maybe not the case here, just reminded me of that.

Whoops, your right, I thought I read that the arrow had a broadhead on it. My mistake. Still, what are the chances given the circumstances.
