Default With the seasons drawing close!!!!

ColoradoLuckyDog thought it would be a good idea to repost these close to the seaon openers and I agreededthat I would send these pictures back out to remind everyone to check their arrows and equipment often for defects. As most of you know I have arrow shatter and go into my left hand that was 4-3-07. It has been a long4.5 months But I can say that I am @ 95% and feeling good.
Crappy picture but the one from the ER!!

My club!!

One week after injury!!



The remains of the arrow!


The piece that they removed from my palm almost 16 weeks after the injury!!


Please all be safe out there wheter it be in the woods or the backyard...I do not what to see another one of these real soon!!

HAPPY HUNTING!!!!

Marty

They were not sure if the lump was scar tissue or the arrow so they weanted to wait a bit. But the Doc was shocked she could miss such a piece. She said the hand was sucha mess inside that after 2.5 hours of surgery she did not want to go anyfarter for the risk of damagaing nerves.

And yes I can shoot without any problems. When I am done shoting my hand is a bit sore...but the therapist says it is great exercise!!
