I wish I could read Norwegian just to see what the last few posts said.......well, maybe it's better that I can't! :eek:

That had to hurt.

Buemaker · May 10, 2009, 01:56:00 PM

I forgot to say that all is well with the shooter,only a small scratch on the arm. Bue--.

Do you know what wood he was using. It looks a lot like out Hop Hornbeam (Ostrya virginiana).
That looked like a very exciting blow-up! Glad he wasn't hurt.

Buemaker · May 10, 2009, 02:34:00 PM

The wood was Juniper (Juniperus communis) Bue--.

Odd, I had to laugh out loud as this has happened to me with a yew bow. Mine was in 11 pieces, his only 9 pieces. Very exiting and fast, surprised that the camera caught the action. Nice bow before the indecent.

That ..WAS...a nice looking bow!!!!

Brian Krebs · May 10, 2009, 03:57:00 PM

at least the arrow survived ! Glad the guy didn't hurt !

Awesome picture, but sorry about the bow. That was a real beauty. Glad the shooter wasn't hurt.

That's called holding at full draw!!!!!!

Lewis Brookshire III · May 10, 2009, 04:49:00 PM

LOL, holding full draw is right...not a single flinch outta that guy!

Curveman · May 10, 2009, 05:27:00 PM

Thank God he wasn't hurt! I had a bow come apart on me once and it'll surely get your heart going!!!

Killdeer · May 10, 2009, 08:12:00 PM

AARRRGGGGHHHHHhhhhh!
No translation needed. Beautiful bow, wonderful tiller, gnarly wood, love that juniper....
what sudden sorrow and loss!

I have a healthy respect for the nerve of the shooter, rock solid and steady! He's the guy I want to see walking up if I've been run over by a bus. Uh, if he knows how to stop bleeding and stabilize a spinal cord.

Killdeer :eek:

Wow! That shot was taken with a Sony DSC-W70 run of the mill camera you could get at Wal-Mart! I was thinking someone was shooting at five frames per second or something. That shot is one in a million to get.

Shame to see something so pretty gone in an instant. =0(

razorsharptokill · May 10, 2009, 08:58:00 PM

Very cool pic but very sad too. That was a cool bow!

paleFace · May 10, 2009, 11:16:00 PM
