Here's the email that came with it (today in fact). Could be a Snopes hoax. I don't know.

With hunting season just having started, there are some amateurs out there that don't know what they are really doing. Keep an eye on folks around you.This photo was taken on a cell phone last week after the guy took his friend to Bass Pro Shop to buy his first bow. The clerk was 'assisting' him inzeroing it in, and, after shooting several arrows, making adjustmentsetc., the clerk accidently handed him an arrow that was too short.When he drew back, the arrow tip fell down onto his hand and he somehowreleased it. They rode to the hospital with the bow in his buddy's handbecause it impaled his finger also! They are both archery amateurs (I'mthinking the clerk is also?). I don't think the guy who got shot ever hadheld a bow prior, let alone shoot one...OUCH!

I wonder if he had to go thru the checkout line and pay for the bow and arrow before he went to the hospital????

i've heard of and seen pictures of people having an arrow shatter, and then the remaining rear bit slamming into their forearm. ouch.
 
Maybe proper sight picture for some archers should include "can I see my hand past the arrow" or "don't aim with your index finger" LOL
 
at least it was onlt a field or bullet point -- imagine what a broadhead would have done.

CAME OUT PRETTY DAMN SWEET
 
Looks very cool Flexxx. I thought about making a homemade tumbler before.
 
that's cool, but won't that surface encourage corrosion?
Maybe you should coat it with some sort of epoxy-based paint. ;)

Its actually very-very smooth, time will tell....I was thinking about putting some mustard in the mix to see if it would form a patina
 
I was at WalMart buying a bag of Purina dog chow for my dog , in the check-out line when a woman behind me asked if I had a dog. Why else would I be buying dog chow, RIGHT ??? So on impulse I told her that no, I didn't have a dog, I was starting the Purina Diet again, and that I probably shouldn't, because I ended up in the hospital last time, but that I'd lost 50 pounds before I awakened in inten..................sive care, with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and IVs in both arms. I told her that it was essentially a Perfect Diet and all you do is load your pockets with Purina Nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry. The food is nutritionally complete so it works well and I was going to try it again. (I have to mention here that practically everyone in line was now enthralled with my story.) Horrified, she asked if I ended up in intensive care, because the dog food poisoned me. I told her no, I stepped off a curb to sniff a poodle's butt and a car hit me. I thought the guy behind her was going to have a heart attack he was laughing so hard. Better watch what you ask me and be prepared for my answer. I have all the time in the world to think of crazy things to say........................
 
i was led to believe that purina was shite for dogs. too much ... junk. fillers. vegetables. grains. wtf? dogs do not need that. meat. lots of meat, intenstines, fat, and marrow :)
 
Good work Flexxx. Did you do anything to protect the edge during the tumbling?

Honestly I figured you were up to something goofy, but I will say that came out very nicely. Now dunk it in ferric chloride to give it a dark black patina that will make it look even cooler.

Stupid questions require smart ass stories.
 
Flexxx: those are two pretty epic posts, man. That stonewash trick has shot to the top of my list-of-mods-to-try-when-Wife-is-gone, and the other story made me lol.
