Nerve Damage From Bow Shooting?

I am doing archery in gym class, which involves shooting our extreme gym class bows. I couldnt have shot more than 30 arrows today, but since then I cant feel the tip of my middle finger. I did not notice it right away, but once I did, it has not improved. I tried to google my problem but i cant really find anything, so the next logical step is newschoolers.

this one guy i interviewed with was on pace to be an Olympic archer and he had something go wrong with his tendons in his arm eliminating his hopes. I doubt what happened to you is a huge issue, but i would stay away from the bow and arrows for a while. If it gets worse or doesn't go away, go to the doctor.

that sucks. did you use a tab or finger protection of some kind? i could see that happening, but only with a fairly powerful bow.

I'm sure you are fine, just ask your gym teacher about it tomorrow.

theres no way in hell you got nerve damage after shooting a gym class bow once.
just leave it for a while, if nothing works, try doctor

haha we did archery in gym yesterday and one of the dumb ass kids in my group picks up the bow and dry fires it like a dumbass and the string hits the inside of his arm and cuts one of his veins in half. Within 5 minutes he had a golfball size bump of blood that had rushed out and he had to be taken to the hospital to have it drained. its was pretty crazy.

Unless you have a bow thats cranked up to 40lbs or more, then you should be fine. I imagine gym bows would be around 15-25lbs.

some ho called love line saying she used a vibrator a lot on her clit and that her clit became desensitived. dr drew told her to lay off for a while cause her nerves were like mashed or something. so your finger sensitivity prolly will come back
