The issue I see is not with compounds or traditional bows which need to be drawn to be fired, but with crossbows. How many stories have you seen of crossbows going off and shooting people in vehicles. It’s crazy how many people don’t de-cock them in between hunting. I know of at least a couple, the worst being one that went off in a vehicle, killing a young boy. I need to see what the rules are for my state on bow cases.Requiring a bow to be in a case is criminally stupid haha. What is the point supposed to be?
Driving with a loaded cross bow is crazy. A friend of mine actually makes his kid use a bow instead of a cross bow just because shooting your self with a bow is a lot more difficult to do.The issue I see is not with compounds or traditional bows which need to be drawn to be fired, but with crossbows.

I’m not sure if it says more about the sheer quantity of time I’ve spent around people shooting bows, or the actual people shooting bows. But I’ve witnessed two people shoot themselves with a bow.
I’ve witnessed zero folks shoot themselves with a crossbow. I would imagine I’d see more folks shoot themselves with a crossbow given the same exposure. But I’m not confident in that…
Doesnt appear to be a broadhead hole. You know you're not supposed to be hunting with field points.
I’ve never seen either myself. I think his idea was it’s difficult to get out in front of the arrow when the bow is drawn. We had a guy here in OK that shot him self in the thigh with a cross bow a couple years ago and died. He was a doctor if I recall correctly.I’m not sure if it says more about the sheer quantity of time I’ve spent around people shooting bows, or the actual people shooting bows.

Now I’m curious to here the story…
Nothing too exciting. Many years ago I nicked an arrow during a practice session, next time I shot it the arrow exploded on release and embedded itself into my arm. Needless to say I don't try to shoot tight groups anymore.Now I’m curious to here the story…
Sure felt like I shot myself with a bow. Arrow stuck in my arm and left a deep bloody hole like I shot myself with a bow. I think it qualifies.I don't think that counts as shooting yourself with a bow. It's more of an arrow shattered and stuck you. I'm wondering about actually shooting oneself with a bow...how would that work. I can see the crossbow. Toss it in the truck or on an atv and it goes off. I can see that. Maybe you could get your foot with a bow.

I don’t shoot groups either. Even if you don’t have an accident you’ll spend more on arrows.Nothing too exciting.

Broadhead Injury!
I certainly hope everyone knows to NOT shoot groups with broadheads! There are individual target dots on a broadhead target for a reason. Shooting each dot and hitting the center of the dot, is the same as shooting a group. All arrows are hitting the same Point Of Impact, just like they would...saddlehunter.com
If you say so. lol. I was giving you an out.Sure felt like I shot myself with a bow. Arrow stuck in my arm and left a deep bloody hole like I shot myself with a bow. I think it qualifies.

^^^^ I kind of wish I incorporated the killing of a rattlesnake and coyote into that story now
