 Never play with Old Compounds Am posting this as i have just returned from the local hospital were ive been told to rest after an archery related incident which bought with it much laughter after i came round. 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.

| It was one of those thing were you can see it happening in slow motion but too mezmerised to get out of the way. O well. I will do silly things, should have waitied and let him try it out, but he isnt an archer.

| It's a good job the local Plod wasn't watching! Rest as much as they tell you, then a bit more. Really look after yourself.
