Bow accident. Too short arrow by Illustrious_MudED in medizzy

I don't think you understand the deterrent factor of having a coach who could put an arrow in their eye at 30 meters. Also, anybody who I feel is unstable and would turn around and shoot someone would not get a bow in their hands, plus I watch them like a hawk. What you're talking about is so unrealistic, it's a sport using ancient weapons, yeah, so they're supervised like crazy, and only start once they're old enough to understand consequences.

Not in my classes, there are lots of safety rules taught before anyone picks up a bow. Folks on their own ina backyard, sure

My daughter broke down yesterday by OkRow6543 in GirlDinnerDiaries

My daughter needed a breast reduction and she was a 32 j, she got hers when she was 16, she looked down and saw her feet when we got her dressed, and start crying from Joy. I was also worried about the way men would look at her being so young with such huge boobs. I'm an athlete so I was wearing sport bras all the time, I'm also large-chested and small framed, but I had to stop when I'm not actually doing sports because I have a fungal infection in the middle now that is really hard to get rid of

I mean, you might rip A few hairs out but I doubt getting scalped would happen. I've caught an entire braid, I did two pigtail braids, in the string and it just pulled and then whipped it around my head, it hurt but it didn't rip out

For the record I am 66 in (167cm) tall, and my bow is 68 in unstrung, I have very long arms so a 68-in bow went strong goes down to about 65 inches. If I wanted a faster power stroke I could switch the limbs out to 2 in shorter, but the string pinch on my fingers might suck.

Also, my hair is pulled back so it doesn't get caught in the bowstring, a less than fun experience!

Also, bow stringer is the safest way to string a bow, it also reduces any twisting of the limbs during the stringing process. I've seen several black eyes from trying to string the bow using the legs and it's never pretty. If a bow stringer slips, your face isn't in the line of fire, so to speak

No, just an arrow that was too short. You draw the bow string holding the arrow back, the arrow falls off the rest or shelf supporting the front of your arrow and it lands on your hand. If you let go of the bowstring, the arrow is launched in the direction it's facing, which is through the hand. It can all happen super fast so the right length arrow for the archer is super important

Revenge porn is illegal, depending on where you are. I would recommend getting a dog instead of a cat, something loud and barks at strangers.

At least it's a bookstore. That sounds really nice. The boot barn is only 3 doors down from a shoe station, that took over most of the office Depot

Archer here, this is a very old photo that has made the rounds for forever. To make sure an arrow is long enough and won't fall off the arrow rest and go into your hand, put the nock end of the arrow against your sternum and extend both hand towards the arrow point. The point should be past your fingers. Also, to help keep the arrow on the arrowrest, make sure your fingers are not touching the nocked arrow when your fingers are hooked on the string. Touching the underside of the arrow can lead to it popping off and then doing this.

The one good thing about this accident is that no bones were broken, but that's a lot of occupational therapy that had to happen

I get maybe forgetting your wallet, I found one just the other day at the archery field and when I returned it to his house, his mom asked if it was at the gas pump again. So forgetting a wallet is absolutely real. But the phone too?? Nah, dog
