ClassificationsPHOTOGRAPH
Label TextTo make this photograph, one of Edgerton's graduate students, an inexperienced archer, took aim at a target. This records the moment when the bowstring, incorrectly released, snapped against his forearm. In later images from the same session, the student wears a forearm protector.
