On Wednesday Paul bought himself a new toy, a compound crossbow.
uh-ohhh.

Well, I'm sure it hurt, but it could have been a lot worse.

I'm puzzled as to how it happened. I assume Paul is right handed. The crossbow must be designed so that the trigger mechanism is forward of where the string is when fully cocked. Perhaps this is necessary for maximum power, or just a convenient layout, but it seems that a guard plate might be in order.

Hey, sue the suckers!
