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.
 
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.
 
hah your fine dude, my dad is like an intense archer and tries to get me into it..its fun
 
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
