Ouchy. Hope it heals up quick. Will you still be able to hunt this weekend? Gonna give it a shot. CF rifles and shotguns are out as I can't grip the fore stock. Ouch. Don't you have to grip the front of a xbow? Shooting off hand the answer would be yes. In a few of the blinds I have a Caldwell deadshot that allows me to shoot rimfire and the xbow one handed.

What kind of crossbow? Did it have a safety rail? Excalibur Mega 405. The factory stock has a safety rail but being the genius I am I had the stock replaced with a custom walnut thumbhole stock. My custom stock does not have the guard.

Thank you for posting this as a warning to other crossbow users. I need to start paying close attention to where I place my hands with my own crossbow.

The son of a good friend of mine lost half of his thumb the same way.

Thanks for the reminder - warning. Sure is good that the shots they give in your fingers/thumbs kill all of the feeling. Wish I would have had a camera many years ago when they sowed my little and ring finger back together. Be sure to keep it clean, dry and warm.

Da-Gum! I know it hurts hitting your inner fore arm with a bow string. Hopefully your thumb was numb at-least for a little while after that happened. Get well soon!!!
