May not be the same injury, but it looks like it. The one that I saw back in the fall was supposedly a guy that worked at the local sporting goods store trying out the new bows off the shelf while on break. I can't remember if the arrow was too short or the rest failed but that was the result.
That can happen with a wb too depending on arrow length. I was at the local shop back in the fall when 3 guys came in. One of them had a new Hoyt that had not been set up correctly by the shop where he purchased it. The guys here got it lined out and gave him some pointers on his form. After he was finished shooting, he handed the bow to a friend of his that had never shot a bow but was in the market for one to let him try it out. The guy held the bow in front of him and yanked the string back so hard that the arrow pulled completely through the wb and wedged the field point into the back side of the riser. :shock: The bow owner saw what had happened before his buddy triggered the release and managed to get the arrow out before something really nasty happened. He then told his buddy to let the bow down so the guy just punched the release... without an arrow on the string. :shock: :shock:
Brand new Hoyt Alphamax with less than 50 shots on it.
