I've whacked a little finger, but nothing like that thumb looks. As far as I'm concerned you win the prize for the most damage from a string.

Hope you heal quickly with no permanent damage done.

Wow!! I've "stung" my thumb once on my old ten point, as did my daughter, seeing your injury I sure am glad we both walked away with nothing more than a valuable lesson learned.

Thanks for sharing, sometimes it takes a "visual aid" for it to sink in, I bet anyone who reads your post double and tripple checks their thumb placement for many shots to come. I hope you get healed up quick.
