READ IT!!
It sounds like a compound bow let loose.... NOT AN ARROW!! Compound bows under strain ( he was tinkering with it) are BOMBS waiting to go off. |

You do not need a [strike]Rambow[/strike]Rambo style bow. It fires arrows with explosives and you need explosive licenses. Ban bows held by Stallone!

Yeah from what little can be told from that horribly badly written article the bow, or a piece off a bow, cause the injury. "Shoots Self in Face" [:(!] Dumbass reporter making the poor guy's accidental death a joke by lieing about what happened. This pisses me off like the gleeful reporting by the (mostly) anti reporters of hunting accidents every year.
Like Stormbringer said, a bow under pressure is dangerous, particularly if it failed or if somehow the string was released unexpectedly and something was attached to an arm of the bow or some piece came loose at speed. |

iirc, target bows are recurve, not compound.
edit: nevermind...sounds like some kind of "sporting clays" for bows he was involved in...not match target shooting. |

It could have been a recurve or a compound. Both are used as target bows.
Bow tuning can involve placing the bow in a clamping device and drawing back the string. It is possible that he had a spring scale, trigger release, or a t-square device on the string and was looking at it from the front of the bow when it let loose. It is also possible that he had an arrow in it and was looking at it from the front and an arrow shot through his head. There is just now way of telling what happened from the article. |

Horribly written article. It's just alot of words that dont really tell you anything. The person writing it I would be willing to bet has never even seen a compound bow. I do not think it was an arrow that hit him, I think it was one of the limbs of the bow.
