OUCH!
bennett scored three bullseyes at the camp michigania 5 meter archery range. there we many other 5-6 year olds there with their dads. they had cute little pint sized compound bows. one of the kids near us dry fired his bow and started squeeling. when i looked over i was expecting to see the kid holding his left forearm which is the typical archery injury. but no, his dad was tugging on the bow which seemed to be attached to the front of the kid's shorts. junior managed to get his wee yoink caught between the bowstring and the lower cam. OUCH! i'm like, "draw the bow! draw the bow!" dad draws the bow freeing his kid's poor member from unspeakable torment and whisks him off to a shady bench to assess the damage. word spread among the adults down the firing line with reactions much like you're probably experiencing right now. bless this kid though. he really wanted to shoot archery. ten minutes later they came back asking if there were any bows without wheels. staff fixed him up with a nice little recurve. we were all very careful to make sure that the kids had their left arms fully extended when they let go of the string.
