Here it is ..........

That story seems backwards from the picture? The arrow in the picture is entering from the back? I guess it's just a reference picture. Wow an initiation to a rafting club. Dumb asses. Yes Burt --- You are right . I searched for the article and the pic and the article do "not" match .

Here is another See the pics here:http://picasaweb.google.com/CO.Elkaholic/ManShotInHeadByArrow > Anybody know anything about this? All I got was the pics via e-mail. > I'm curious what the story behind it is. > Elkaholic Here is the story that I found on www.askjeeves.com. I entered ( Man shot in the back of the head with an arrow ) and it brought up several articles, Although it does not cooberate the post that the person has seen this posted on his pc 15 years ago(1992) ? Not really to sure what to beleive, One could probably research the ap press as noted in the article to find out more. Below is another example of the rules not being observed - hunting archery calls for even more diligence than target archery by its very nature. Errant arrow pierces man's head Associated Press -- Oct. 14, 2001 BURLINGTON, Vermont -- An Underhill man shot in the back of the head with an arrow while bow hunting is recovering slowly, according to his family members. Ron Derouchie, 24, was recovering at home Friday, Oct. 12, after his brother, Brian, 22, fired an arrow into the back of his head. The arrow penetrated Ron Derouchie's skull and pierced his brain, stepmother Wendy Derouchie said. The family is worried about whether the arrow caused lasting vision damage. Ron Derouchie is having trouble sleeping and not feeling well, but his outlook is good, she said. "He has a lot of headaches," Wendy Derouchie said. "He gets really tired." The brothers were hunting deer at about 5:30 p.m. Tuesday in Underhill when the incident occurred, said Lt. Robert Rooks, acting chief of law enforcement for the Fish and Wildlife Department. Police are treating the incident as accidental. When Ron Derouchie shot, he bumped his brother, who had drawn his arrow back and was preparing to release it, Rooks said. The bump caused Brian Derouchie to swivel as he was shooting, and the arrow hit Ron Derouchie in the back of his head, Rooks said. The fact that the brothers were standing close together prevented the accident from being worse, Rooks said. "The arrow wasn't able to gain the momentum that it would, had it actually been released," he said. Ron Derouchie remained conscious and walked from the woods with his brother, who was shaken by the incident, Wendy Derouchie said. "As they came out of the woods, Ron was calming Brian down," she said. Surgeons spent three hours removing the arrow.

Here is one of the reports http://ufacts.blogspot.com/2008/06/arrow-in-mans-head-skull.html

Many of the shops avoid Dry Fires by putting ty-wraps or other devices on the strings . This keeps folks from picking up a bow , drawing it back and having a Dry Fire .

The Quik Spins have little tabs on the vane that would drag on the WB . I had tried a QAD Ultra awwow rest on two different . Neither myself or the shop guy could get good enough clearance with it . It is similar to the RipCord Rest .

That happed 4 or 5 years ago . I remember seeing the other pics where they had cut part of the skull to remove the arrow . I had those pics saved on my old computer . i'll try to dig them up .

buckdown .....welcome to Hunting NY

I have a Trophy Ridge Drop Zone on one bow and a G5 Expert on another . I went to the drop away rests so I could shoot Quik Spin vanes . The WB makes a difference of 2-3 fps according to my chrono . 2-3 fps is nothing !

I had a Benjamin air rifle when I was a kid . I ruined it by pumping it up way too much . It was a 22 cal and would put a hole through a 1" wooden shed door . I would pump it up and then hold the stock between my legs and use both hands to pump it up more . That wasn't good for the air rifle !

The farthest I have shot a deer was 35 yards but it wasn't in the woods . He was moving a hedgre row , crossed a field and stepped into the field I was hunting . To top it off , it was on the Marine corps Birthday .

I switched to carbons several years ago and never looked back . I shoot the Nitro Stinger Big Game arrows which are 10.5 gr / inch and my total arrow weight is 430 grains . I practice with other arrows until about 3 weeks before season then use my Stingers . http://www.hornhunters.com/nitro_stinger.htm

Gotta admit, I was one of those crying for Enroth to get the call last night. :-[ Do we rest Miller at any point or no? :-\ Miller was awesome last night but the Sabres have to be able to score more than one goal in a game !

I had been trying to get the RCBS Die Locking Rings since January . I called again about 3 weeks ago and Dave (at Beikirchs) said he would take care of it personally . I called yesterday afternoon and Dave said they had gotten the single packaged die lock nuts in but not the multi pack but he would give them to me for the multi pack price ( just under $9 ) . Midway USA sells them for just over $12 plus shipping . Beikirchs has some great Customer service . I was told that so many folks are doing reloading that some of the companies cannot supply products fast enough . I had a $50 gift certificate from Christmas and made good use of it !

Welcome back ..........

All I have to say about his rants is ......

Pygmy ----- Here is your sling , $20 http://shop.sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/cb.aspx?a=756516

Watch the shooter get pushed back a few inches on each shot . ???

This has a bit of knockdown power

From the report , it doesn't look like many have been killed in New York State yet .

We are having Global Cooling and Al Gore has gone into hiding !
