[QUOTE="okie man, post: 1768112, member: 75071"] I ran a outdoor store in Arkansas for 3 years. I have some stories for sure. The absolute dumbest thing was archery related. A small Asian man, 5’ at the most, walks in when I was busy rigging a couple new bows for customers. He’s looking at the used bow rack and I tell him I’ll be with him in a few minutes. I had a big sign saying do not draw bows without assistance. I turn my back for a second and when I turn around he has a older bow drawn back, the draw length must have been 30” and he’s standing with his arms as far apart as possible. He’s straining to hold the bow , his head is between the string and riser. I tried to tell him hold on I’ll help him but too late. The riser slips from his hand, sending it toward his head, the cable guard penetrates his cheek, about 2 inches below his eye. He starts yelling and jumping around as I try to get the bow off his head. Blood is flowing from his face as I get him to stop moving so I can free him from this bow. I get the bow out of his face and go to grab something to cover his wound. He runs full speed out the door never to be seen again. I turn around and one of my customers waiting for their bow says, did you f&$king see that! I was still in shock from the whole ordeal. Now years later I think about that and can laugh. [/QUOTE]
