  • Love the stories but…

    … audio is hard to listen to. It’s hard to understand the guests. Hope you can get a recording device that does better with phone calls.

Q: Could you explain to our listeners, so exactly where did the arrow enter your arm and where did it come out?
The arrow entered on the top side, four inches back from the wrist, and exited almost dead center in his wrist.
From Target to Trauma
Q: So, Keith, when this initially happened, did you even feel it?
No, he didn't feel anything immediately due to adrenaline but felt a pounding sensation after lowering his bow.
