I guess I was lucky it went clear through the nail and out the other side. He crushed the barb and i backed it right out.

Its still throbbing though. The nail split so that will be a nuisance for quite a while too.

I know what you mean about pushing it through, I had to do it for a newbie I took out last year. It went into the fat part of his palm below the pinky. Went more than 1/2 way in and we could not pull it back out. Got it through, crushed the barb and after a few attempts he got it to back out. He has scars he can show.
