Accident occurred as man was trying to disarm crossbow after a day of deer hunting
A man accidentally shot himself in the chest with a crossbow while he was hunting with a group of people in the Marlborough Forest on Sunday night, according to Ottawa paramedics.
It happened at about 6 p.m. Sunday in the woods near Dwyer Hill Road and Roger Stevens Drive, north of Merrickville, Ont., and south of Richmond, Ont.
The 45-year-old man was trying to disarm the crossbow after a day of deer hunting when he accidentally shot himself, paramedics said.
His friends helped him to the road and were met there by an ambulance, paramedics said.
He was taken to hospital where he was listed in serious but stable condition.
DELIVERANCE, the movie, was in GawGah!
My earliest memories of the Ozarks was hunters shooting themselves in the foot. Then George Stevens popularized crossbow hunting.
The guy who shot himself in the chest was in Canada.
Frank and beans!
Redshirt fighting stance!
Yeah, how did he miss that step?
I was wondering how it was even possible. My guess is he is a new user. I’m also guessing a slightly used crossbow will be up for sale, soon. 8>)
LOL. Payback is hell.
What could possibly go wrong?
