When the Hunter Becomes the Target…Accidentally

This is the shot you don’t want to take…

If you think your day has gone sideways, just remember, it could always be worse! You could be this hunter who managed to send a crossbow arrow straight through their own toe. Three breaks and one giant OUCH later, it is a painful reminder that safety should always come first regardless of the weapon you are using or even carrying. No critter or target is worth losing a toe over, so always double-check your gear, know the regulations of the area you’re hunting, slow down, and keep those digits intact for next season!

Good luck and stay safe out there!
