Most everyone I’d imagine. Put some super glue on them and play on. No joke. Works like a charm. ---

> [@MYNAMEISZen](#): > > The middle of my finger seems to be have been swollen for like 3 months it’s way fat compared to the other fingers You might want to have that looked at. If it’s sore, try changing your throw. My middle finger was sore all the time late last year. Now I throw kind of like I’m holding a counterweight. I allows the string to go over my my index finger, too, adding support. My finger doesn’t hurt any more. It took a while to get used to but now it’s natural. ---

New-Skin liquid band aid. I originally started using it on my fingertips for rock climbing. The stuff is awesome. Works like a charm on little cuts, and I put a bit on if I start to get a hot spot. It’s like glue, but less toxic, and you can remove it without another solvent. Glue and New-Skin is a temporary solution. Build up the callouses the natural way. If it hurts, give it a rest for a bit. ---

NewSkin should smell worse and burn more, but work better. ---

NewSkin should smell worse and burn more, but work better. You just settled an argument for me 🙂 I’ve been thinking its the same thing for years. I sure as heck have used enough super glue on flesh wounds! ---

gloves take a lot of getting used to. I’ve warn costume gloves while throwing before. Everything’s much more slick, and seems to move so much faster. ---

I used to get cuts all the time, but i think a lot of it has to do with your skin being dry. Now i always use some moisturizer before i go to bed and after i shower, problem solved. ---
