Doctor Demonstrates How to Remove Arrow from Patient’s Hand (Graphic)
This video is every archer's worst nightmare.
According to the video description by theedexitvideo, this footage is a result of an archer's arrow sliding off the release and impaling their wrist. The injured archer was using a bow with a 70-pound draw when this happened, so there was a significant amount of energy behind the arrow.
In order to remove the arrow without causing further injury, the physician cut the aluminum arrow shaft. This reduced the length of arrow that needed to be pulled back through the injured...

British Angler Lands Potential World Record Dogfish Tuna
The International Game Fish Association (IGFA) speculated last week that UK angler Jon Patten may have broken the current world record for dogfish tuna with an enormous 236-pound, 15-ounce fish on November 20.
Patten was fishing with IGFA Representative Jason Alexiou off the coast of Tanzania when he landed the massive tuna.

It was fun at first, but then the pheasant insisted on following him. What resulted was a hilarious situation in which the hunter found himself fleeing from the bird.

There is the chance that the pheasant was human-raised, which...
Is Ben Carson Really Pro-Gun?
This is the second article in our series examining whether certain Republican presidential candidates are really pro-gun. Check out the first one on Donald Trump here.
Like Trump, Ben Carson does not have the voting record of a career politician. Heck, that’s probably a good thing. I might even vote for a can of spackle over most any career politician. Since we can’t look at voting records in Candidate Carson’s case, we’ll take a close look at what he’s said over the years, and then...

5 Reasons to Ditch Your Hunting Partner
Don't get us wrong, hunting partnerships make for some of the strongest bonding experiences. This is why so many hunters bring their parents, spouses, kids, and best friends hunting. Many hunters would readily tackle a grizzly to save their hunting buddies---and at least a few have.
However, there is always that one in the group that you dread seeing again. Whether it's a close friend or just someone you recently met, you never quite have fun in the woods when they're around. Perhaps even worse, your freezer has a tendency to remain empty if they're there.
Here's five good---and...
Video: Big Buck Rescued from Frozen River
Hooves are great over just about most kinds of terrain, but they fare poorly against ice. This buck found that out the hard way when he fell into Colorado's Big Thompson River and was unable to bring himself back on shore. It is not uncommon for deer to brave frozen lakes and rivers during the winter, and the animals often die if they fall in.
Fortunately for this buck, police officers from Estes Park were called out to the scene and were able to bring it back on dry land.

Video: Don’t Be “That Guy” at a Gun Shop
Gun shop etiquette is pretty straightforward, but some people can't seem to get it. We all know one of "those guys." The people who bring in rifles without a case, muzzle sweeps half the store while "inspecting" a firearm, or is generally a danger to employees or other customers.
Don't be that guy.
Remember, just because you are at a gun store doesn't mean you should forget about basic firearm safety. Each shop has its own rules of etiquette, which you should have already seen posted long before you reach the counter. While stores vary in terms of leniency, don't be surprised if the...

Gun TV: 24-hour, All-gun Home Shopping Network Launches Next Year

Video: Archer Shoots Through 38 Water Balloons to Hit Bullseye
Do you think 38 water balloons will stop an arrow?
This clip from a Chinese game shows us that shooting an arrow through 38 water balloons is possible, but it requires skill. The archer had to aim for the top of the balloons so that the arrow would pass through as little water as possible. If the arrow had passed through the widest part, it would have likely not passed through even half the balloons.
Still, that shot required some pretty serious force. I wonder what the draw weight was on the bow in the video?
//
Think he can hit the target with 38 water balloons in the...

Video: Men Use Ingenious Treadmill Setup to Get Firewood Inside
So you have a winter's worth of firewood and you need to get them into your basement. Most of us at this point would be groaning over the prospect of hoofing it up and down the stairs with heavy bundles of wood, but these guys had a different idea.
With little more than an old treadmill and an open basement window, they crafted their very own wood-transporting conveyor belt.
We would be hard-pressed to find a more efficient method, and it cost practically nothing to use! Now if only they could hook up an ax to an elliptical that automatically chops wood, that would be a true life...
