Micro 335

[coolhl]

I too received my 335 nightmare yesterday but my joy was short lived as I amputated the end of my thumb (about 1/2 inch) while fine tuning the Varizone. I somehow got my thumb (still don't know how) above the rail and sheered it with the string when taking a practice shot.

The doctors sewed it back on and have hopes for a good recovery. That said, I've been shooting my exomax safely for 3 years so I'm a little perplexed as to how I could have screwed up so badly. My brain won't let me run thru a mental checklist to recall what I did wrong.

Which is why I never shoot my micro naked!
Glad You are OK.

I bet you said ouchhhhhhhhhhhh or words to that effect The good news is there is a lesson to be learned. If not by you, by anyone reading of your experience. Pray for a fully functional thumb...

My exact words were surprisingly benign, "Oh oh, that's not good" Then I focused on first aid and getting to the ER! I will let you all know when I figure out my mistakes to hopefully prevent others from doing something so careless!! Although I'm embarrassed and know when I figure it out I will be EVEN MORE EMBARRASSED, hopefully some good can come from this!

...a complete and full recovery is a prayer that will be prayed for you!

Sheeesh!! I cringed when I read that. Hope it heals well and you get 100% function back.
