First time that I have seen this type of hunting accident.

Ouch...On another note think about the difference in a field point and a expandable like Rage for example. I couldnt imagine taking a hit from one of those.

He shot himself. You dont cock them with a bolt in it.

I guess he found out the hard way.

The article says he was a paraplegic.  How do you get on and off of an ATV if you have no use of your legs?  I'm not trying to be ugly, just curious how the 2 go together?

Article said he was hunting from his ATV, not sure if thats legal but maybe because hes parapalegic it is.
