I'd say go a little slower than you would on other woods , my first one blew up , about five inches to go to reach my draw length and it blew . I have one that I've shot but because its so easy to ding and scratch I'm going to back it with something , I've got a little more to do on it and shoot it some more befor I do . I took it real slow and if I so much as thought I was getting in a hurry I put it down for a day or two before going back to it .

Do you have safety glasses?

That's why I use a tree until I'm satisfied that a bow will survive repeated pulls.

Hate to see that....wait, I asked to see that....hate that it happened, but glad you shared it with us.  Hopefully you'll walk away without any long term injuries.

Ouch that looks like it hurt.  I had one blow up on me in the hand two years ago.  Ever sense I do same as Gordon.

The funniest part about the whole thing was the look of disappointment on his face right after it blew. I couldn't help but burst out into laughter after I realized he was okay. What a friend :P
