Re: 405 vs thumb - warning graphic pics.
I'd just like to say in my defense that I can put finger guards on or not. And, for fear of finger pointing, no I am not going to look into what transpired between the two of us. I blame it all on DON. I always said his strings are really sharp.mr meat wrote:So Agging and Boo both played apart in the miss hap!! That looks nasty!!!! Hope you heal quick!

Just so everybody knows - Aging made the stock exactly the way I wanted it. The fault is all mine for not paying attention.agingcrossbower wrote:I'd just like to say in my defense that I can put finger guards on or not.

Never violate a woman, nor harm a child. Do not lie, cheat or steal. These things are for lesser men. Protect the weak against the evil strong. And never allow thoughts of gain to lead you into the pursuit of evil.

Sorry about that, and especially at this time of year! I routinely do surgical extractions and it still took my breath away. Sending a PM.

A good friend let his finger slide a little high with his old crossbow last year and derned near took the tip off...
This one trumps that...
Hope you heal quickly....

Re: 405 vs thumb - warning graphic pics.
Wasn't a dry-fire, but I did raise my thumb once while letting loose on a 6 point over 25 yrs ago. No blood, but I dang near threw the crossbow out of the tree. Needless to say, I learned to keep my left thumb out of the strings path. I was afraid to look at it for a minute or two, just sit there holding it while it throbbed.
I feel for you, hope you heel well and soon.

DANG....that's gonna leave a mark! Wishing you a speedy recovery and better luck for the rest of the season.

Only one thing to say OOOWWWIIIEEEEEEEE
Re: 405 vs thumb - warning graphic pics.
Ouch!!
So how did you do this exactly?? Are the rails smaller on the newer bows or do you have long digits? Because my fingers and thumb are no where near long enough to make it on top the rail ?
