Protx Hand Guard saved a 15 year old archer from an injury to his hand.
Here is one case since we developed our Protx Hand Guard where it has saved some one from an injury.
One of them accorded during a 3-d pop up shoot at the Western Hunting and Conservation Expo. Which took place in February of 2011.
The range was in front of large bleachers, their was a crowed forming to hear Ted Nugent speak and shot his bow. We had provided 10 Protx Hand Guards for the archers to use on the range. About 45 mins before Ted Nugent spoke.
Witness reported, a 15 year old young man was shooting with 3 other archers. It was not uncommon on the range to hear arrows break and go down range. Many of us did not pay attention to the arrows breaking/misfiring on the range. This 15 year old archer, was on his 3 or 4th target when he had a arrow break/misfire. It made a sound of hitting flesh, which caught our attention, we seen the arrow deflect off his left hand gripping the bow. It went on a 45 deg angle in front of him. The 15 year old archer did not respond to his left hand which had just gotten hit by the arrow. The guys running the range stopped him to check him. They reported no damage to his hand and that he was wearing the Protx Hand Guard. The archer said he felt nothing, had they not stopped him he would have never known it had hit/deflected off his left hand gripping his bow. He did notice the arrow break/misfire when he shot it.
Anthony, our Sales and Marketing Manager, later talked to some witnesses and inspected the provided Protx Hand Guards. None of them, as he expected, showed any sign of an impact from any broken/misfired arrows. Which is standard with our Testing we have done.
