The result of my #Archery mishap earlier.
I was trying out a shot trainer. The metal ring attaching the elbow sling to the bungee holding the string shattered on release, resulting in a dry fire, 45lb of Olympic-style recurve bow discharging most of its force into my neck (the gash, where the string hit), and a portion of the metal ring embedding itself in my neck (the puncture wound).
