Even veterans make mistakes

went upstate to get some bow hunting in the last two weeks your allowed to crossbow hunt, so I wanted to give it a try I have many years of hunting and you think you have everything under control well a nice six pointer came out around 4.15 thought I was good sticking the crossbow out the blind window not noticing my hand wasn't completely under the hand guard and when I shot the string hit my hand, good lord cant even begin to tell you the pain needless to say not only did I not hit deer my hand is very bruised I will wait till next week and gun hunt, lesson learned you can never be to careful

Bruised hand, bruised ego............................not so bad! Good luck the rest of the season.

I like to look at it as it could of been worse
