Loading hay and the metal bar holding a stack wagon load of hay fell under the weight of 20ish bales and slammed it into my upper right arm. I don't think it's broke but fixing to find out forsure. I just don't need it snapping when I draw my bow or something

 

[jvanhoy]

Damn. Good luck man.

 

[Valley1320]

Well shit.... any crossbow recommendations?








Just kidding xray showed no fractures, so gonna hold off shooting my bow for a day and then see how it goes. Arm is perty swelled up.

@Valley1320 will you do anything to get the drama up and make us want you to kill a Gila Elk even more?

This just throws even more of a curveball into the mix!

Lord have mercy! Get that thing healed up

Haha I definitely wouldn't consider doing that. Last thing I need is a bum arm for this hunt! To hard of a tag to pull

Thank God, thought you were going gay on us.

Hahahahaa that's a freaking last resort lol

Well couldn't resist the temptation and shot a group of 3 arrows. Arm held up and it didn't make it feel any worse.

"So many patients have no patience" is a saying for a reason in my profession. Take it easy let that arm rest.
