Never play with Old Compounds

[Thunk]

Ceri - is it just me who finds this story somewhat ironic after reading your signature?

Glad you're OK though - compounds can be dangerous things to mess with. I seem to remember someone (in Scotland?) died a few years ago whilst trying to adjust one.

Had a close friend bring over this ancient compound hed found in his grandfathers shed (the type with a set of wheels mounted about half way don the limbs as well as in the normal place). As i was in work he left it with my parents. On returning to work i see the bow and decide to see what its like.
Drew it back a few times estimated it to be around 40-50lb, decided to draw it back once more before rining him. not my best idea. lower limb snaps sending the entire thing around my arm and i assume the limb cam hitting me at quite a speed in the back of the neck, next thing i know im in the back of an abulance with concussion.

Have got a nice bruise appearing just underneath the hairline on the back of my neck and a hell of a headache.

are you better lookin now.lol
