Errant arrow pierces man's head
Associated Press -- Oct. 14, 2001
BURLINGTON, Vermont -- An Underhill man shot in the back of the head
with an arrow while bow hunting is recovering slowly, according to his
family members.
Ron Derouchie, 24, was recovering at home Friday, Oct. 12, after his
brother, Brian, 22, fired an arrow into the back of his head.
The arrow penetrated Ron Derouchie's skull and pierced his brain,
stepmother Wendy Derouchie said.
The family is worried about whether the arrow caused lasting vision
damage.
Ron Derouchie is having trouble sleeping and not feeling well, but his
outlook is good, she said.
"He has a lot of headaches," Wendy Derouchie said. "He gets really
tired."
The brothers were hunting deer at about 5:30 p.m. Tuesday in Underhill
when the incident occurred, said Lt. Robert Rooks, acting chief of law
enforcement for the Fish and Wildlife Department.
Police are treating the incident as accidental.
When Ron Derouchie shot, he bumped his brother, who had drawn his
arrow back and was preparing to release it, Rooks said. The bump
caused Brian Derouchie to swivel as he was shooting, and the arrow hit
Ron Derouchie in the back of his head, Rooks said.
The fact that the brothers were standing close together prevented the
accident from being worse, Rooks said.
"The arrow wasn't able to gain the momentum that it would, had it
actually been released," he said.
Ron Derouchie remained conscious and walked from the woods with his
brother, who was shaken by the incident, Wendy Derouchie said.
"As they came out of the woods, Ron was calming Brian down," she said.
Surgeons spent three hours removing the arrow.

That is nasty. I have never had that happen per say. I did get shot with an arrow by my brother though just not in the back of the head. I was 5 and my brother was 8. He had one of those red bow and arrows with a black handle. The arrows were wood with a metal field tip on them. Anyone remember those? We were shooting them in the front yard and I ran to get his arrow and when I came back he had the bow pointed at me. the arrow "slipped" according to him and shot me in the mouth. No lie, promise. The arrow hit me in one of my front teeth and nocked it out. I now have a fake tooth to show off b/c of the accident.

Good god it's like a car wreck,I can't look away!!! That is worse than a gun shot to the head. can not even imagine how the brother felt!

[longtimegone]

I had a fiberglass? arrow shatter/splinter into my arm and just stopped shooting after that.

I had read the conservation officer report on this "accident".

Supposedly the two were "hunting" over a bait pile (illegal) and had been smokng pot - also illegal.

[DaddysDeerHunter]

oh, well if both of them were stoned, then one of them didnt have to bump the other on accident, he coulda just said, "hey man lemme shoot this at ya" and not even knew what they were doing.......

[DearDoctor]

I wonder if the marijuana blunted the pain?

[timber_wolf16]

haah im sure it did lmao??? i wouldnt no but i mean im sure :cool:

I remember when this happened back in 2001. I still wonder why as I did then. Why break the arrow instead of unscrewing the broadhead. Or, at least take a dremmel and cut the shaft. I can see it now, "Move your head this way and I will swing the arrow the other way, I won't take too many bends."

"Move your head this way and I will swing the arrow the other way, I won't take too many bends."
