Sorry man really. And thank you for the message. I’ve seen some of your recent stuff and I’m glad you’re still able.

Its luckiest fish ever, damnit

Just wanted to add an observation from a comment in another video which I believe may contributed to this accident. "The problem with snap back is not so much of a matter of line getting tied to a stationary point on the riser or arrow rest, it's a problem when it gets tied to the bow string which acts as a spring and does NOT allow the string to break like it does if the line is anchored to a rigid stationary point. This is a major difference in the physics that is at play." Thank you for making this video, Im glad your recovery is going well. God bless

Wouldn't a slide prevent this?

Hope you’re doing well man! Saw you in another bow fishing video. Is this as much of a concern with crossbows? I’m just starting on a crossbow pistol and the bolts are much shorter than the barrel(?), so there’s no real need or use for a slide is there?

Sorry bout your eye but you need a slide on your arrow

Thats why u put arrow slides on

Very honorable to share your story and inspire folks to think about possible mishaps! Im just looking into bowfishing and would never have thought about that snapback. You might jave just saved me an injury!

Thank you for making this video im just getting started bowfishing and using a bow in general and i really didnt realize the dangers associated with it

I don't see how safety glasses are really going to protect your eyes from a nock coming back at your eye at a full draw

I just about got into bowfishing man, thank you so much for sharing this. You're a freakin hero

I was shooting with a fiber glass arrow that was damaged the whole thing folded some how wen i reased it , big mistake because I could have lost an eye instead, it hit just below on the side of my face , it cut me , good idea to wear safely glasses , it's not worth the risk.

Your still one of the best shooters I've seen.... keep on truckin brotha

Oh god

Well, broken down, why not tie directly to the arrow tip?

Found your video from the Unguided channel. Thank you for sharing, making sure me and my boys are running slides from here on out. What rest are you running? Looking to switch to a shelf rest and I can’t find one that looks like yours. Thank you

Thanks for sharing brother

This right here is one of the main reasons why I shoot a retriever and not a reel.

Damn dude sorry that happened! I’ve been a bow fisherman for many yrs and I have seen all kinds of things happen as well. Don’t let it slow you down my man! ✌️

I had an arrow snap back into my shoulder once, unfortunately some aren't so lucky with accidents, I hope it doesn't slow you down to much

He said “that string just gone do whatever the fuck it wants” the truest funniest thing he said😂

Not glad about your eye brother but glad I clicked on this video. Here's one more that will be switching to safety slides and wearing safety glasses. Wish you the best with the rest and thanks for the message.

Thank you. I watched other videos and got rid of the slide but promptly switched back to using a slide after you shared your story. I shared it on two other videos where these people swear that snapbacks don’t happen when using a spincast. Your video is helping protect us. Thank you.

Good lookin out Brother😉🤪.....haha jk jk boss!! All jokes aside your a solid ass dude don't think for one second every single one of us have great respect for you Sir. Happy Thanksgiving.

Sucks man is your vision gone forever?

Brother that sucks. But thanks for the warning.

Almost purchased a setup today. Thanks for sharing. Still going to buy one, but now I'm going to spend much more time researching.

I used to laugh off safety glasses till I lost my eye, now everywhere I work and everybody I work with I make them wear my 'after surgery' glasses that cover the left side of my face for a day. All but 1 have come in with brand new safety glasses the next day.

damn bro I'm sorry to hear that. glad i came across this video tho because i just got a bow setup and never would have thought about avoiding this situation.

Thanks for the advise

Damn bro! I'm glad you ended up just down an eye. Could have been way worse! You will be shooting again in no time. I found this video looking at the possible advantages of talking to the back so you saved me from trying it so thank you for that. I will also very likely be wearing glasses from now on at night. You probably saved a few eye balls with this video! It's not just an empty warning when it comes straight from a guy that got the short end of the deal. Can't wait to see you shooting again buddy!

Dang bro I'm just getting into the sport thank you for sharing your experience. Nice hat archery country?

so sorry to hear of your accident. hats off to you. you seem strong and positive. i wont judge anyones choice as to how to choose or rig their gear. but i will say that no matter what, no one can control how that string is going to react when u tie to the back. stay safe, and hope you will be shooting again soon.

Thanks for sharing this. Hopefully others can hear this and avoid something similar.

Hey man this is Braden britnee Morris’s son how you doing

Thanks for sharing your experience. Sorry to hear about your injury, and I hope you recover well and quickly!

Good luck on recovery and hope you can get back out their soon

You just sold a ton of safety slides! I’m using them for now on! I’m glad you’re able to come on here to share!

thanx for sharing your bad experience. we feel for you over here.

Thanks for making this video, crazy circumstance. I wish you the best luck with a speedy recovery, and hope to see you back at it.

Thanks Robert for helping some of us understand what happened might just change some of our minds to look at this from a different angle. Very sorry to see this happen to anyone, prayers for your healing! Again thank you for sharing.

First time I ever understood potential and kinetic energy

Sorry buddy. Hope you will move past this.

Praying for you brother love your energy on unguided outdoors hopefully you will be back.

Thanks for sharing your story! It really hits home with me since I was born legally blind in my right eye. I will wear safety glasses from here on out. By the way I shoot right handed bows and only see out of my left eye! Here’s to a speedy recovery and always shoot straight brother!

This why our whole group uses safety slides. Not a single reason not to actually.

Great info.. Hoping for a speedy recovery...

Respect. Thanks for this.

thanks for the psa, I'll be wearing safety glasses at night now...

Heal up Brother, hate that this happened to you. Keep that good mood going, it helps everyone around you also with that positivity.
