Bad luck!

[jeff]

I leave in 8 days for my bowhunt with Dries Visser Safaris and today I cut my middle finger to bone on the inside pad at the last joint.. I won't be able to shoot my recurve for a month so it's now only hunting with my compound and a release!

 

[cpr0312]

That stinks! But at least you will be able to hunt with a release. Hope you heal quick, that sounds like it hurts!

 

[cpr0312]

By the way, best of luck on the hunt!

 

[enysse]

Sorry to hear! I know how much time you plan for your hunts!

 

[BRICKBURN]

Ouch

Good luck with the bow swap
Hope you mend quickly

 

[billc]

sorry to hear the bad luck. Hope it all goes and you have a great trip.

Sorry--have a great trip. Roll with the punches (or cuts)!!!

I injured the same finger but strained the flexor tendon. I can still shoot but not as much. About a month until departure. I have a compound as a back up also.

Sorry to hear that Jeff. Have a great trip regardless.

Jeff, that sucks big time.
Just a thought , have you ever tried shooting your recurve with a release ? I have done it, but it is sure different than fingers. Forrest

Lucky you have a backup plan. Gee, I guess you'll have to go back next year with your recurve! Sounds like a good reason to return to Africa to me.
Best of luck with the compound!

Knock em dead, go back next year with the recurve! All the best @jeff

Thanks for all the encouragement guys!! Yes I have shot a few shots with a release with the stick bow but I feel it's to close now to switch gears and get proficient.

 

[petrusg]

Thats really bad luck, at least you can still hunt with the compound!

 

[CAustin]

Damn that's bad luck indeed! Anything you can do to overcome this injury?

Just time to heal, hope it's good by the 1st of sept. for deer and elk here!

 

[CAustin]

I sure hope you heal faster than you think it will.

When that kudu of a lifetime gives you that tiny window at 40 yards think of it as a blessing!!
