It sucks that it happened but glad you’re still alive to tell the tale. Now you can get you a parrot though and become a pirate when you’re on the boat.
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
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. 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.
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
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! ✌️
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.
Glad to hear you are ok besides the eye. So sorry this happened to you. Thanks for the Info and input. I always worry about this with my 14 year old son running a bottle reel with a button. We have safety slides on but without pushing that button could get ugly also. Get well n hope you can get back on the water soon.
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 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!
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.
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!
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
@@capt_patches7286 Thank you! This video really has me thinking I shoot about 35lbs and had something hang up one time and luckily it just broke my line. I’m using a mega mouth but some of my friend shoot the ams bottle reels and that stuff is basically rope. We just sunk our boat Friday night crashing into a sandbar being overloaded. Luckily we got it out. Thinking a little bit more about safety now
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.
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!
😂😂😂😂👍🏾
It sucks that it happened but glad you’re still alive to tell the tale. Now you can get you a parrot though and become a pirate when you’re on the boat.
Appreciate the explanation to keep the rest of us safe on the water brother were praying for ya
Your still one of the best shooters I've seen.... keep on truckin brotha
This why our whole group uses safety slides. Not a single reason not to actually.
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 just about got into bowfishing man, thank you so much for sharing this. You're a freakin hero
thanks for the psa, I'll be wearing safety glasses at night now...
thanx for sharing your bad experience. we feel for you over here.
Bro, I hate that accident. Just give God the glory that your not 6 ft under.
Glad you're are doing better bud. Hate that it happened.
Thanks for sharing this. Hopefully others can hear this and avoid something similar.
Dang bro I'm just getting into the sport thank you for sharing your experience. Nice hat archery country?
Thanks for sharing brother

Excellent video dude. You made some great points. Prayers for you.
Respect. Thanks for this.
First time I ever understood potential and kinetic energy
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
This right here is one of the main reasons why I shoot a retriever and not a reel.
Love you little cousin.
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.

Brother that sucks. But thanks for the warning.
Thanks for the advise
Well, broken down, why not tie directly to the arrow tip?
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.
Wouldn't a slide prevent this?
Sorry buddy. Hope you will move past this.
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.
Get better soon bud.
Sucks man is your vision gone forever?
Boss move on not wearing an eye patch and just rocking it. Props

What rest are you running? Looking to switch to a shelf rest and I can’t find one that looks like yours. Thank you
For an Osprey: bowfishing extreme shelf rest

Oh god
Thats why u put arrow slides on

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
It has a good chance to deflect away from your eye socket.
Good safety glasses will easily stop an arrow nock at 250 fps (probably slower at 25lb draw).
Sorry bout your eye but you need a slide on your arrow
Hey man this is Braden britnee Morris’s son how you doing
Its luckiest fish ever, damnit
Get better soon bud.
