all I have to say is OUCH!!. hope you have a quick recovery.

I had a buddy put an arrow through his hand a couple years back while he was at elk camp. he had to do physical therapy for quite a while afterwards. hopefully you wont have to endure that.

Ouch.... that looks painful

It's a more common injury than I knew about

I have seen this happen on a couple of occasions myself while at 3D shoots. The arrow can lose it's spine after hitting something hard or afetr multiple hits, or occasionally you may just get a bad arrow, but as mentioned before: if you inspect them periodically you be able to see which ones have a gone bad or weakened.

Good luck with the recovery.

I had the same thing happen with an aluminum arrow. A buddy was watching me to help correct my form. He said he had looked at the arrow while I was at full draw and did not see anything wrong.

Get Well!!!

I saw some shafts at the store the other day that said "FLEX BEFORE SHOOTING"
I think I'll switch to alluminum too
