Almost full-draw and this happens:
FUGG!!!
I suppose I wore the SOB out - that stupid Mother-F'er!
First time that's ever happen to me.
I suppose I'll be taking a break from bow practice until I get a new one put back on.
That's alright,
it's suppose to rain over the next 24 hours or so and I have plenty of other things to do to keep me busy.
Still sucks though

@giles - "do I continue this training during the season?"
Not so much as continued training really...
What I often do, is check my bow each time I return home from the field by simply firing off a few arrows at my target 'BLOCK'.
I usually do this right after each one of my morning hunts.
I do it with whatever I am wearing at the time, including my back-pack and/or climber strapped on over my shoulders, and/or heavy winter clothes on, including heavy winter gloves 'TOO'.
Typically, right before I hit my wood-stove heated workshop while hiking back from any of my hunting locations.
I'll stop right in front of my target 'BLOCK', approximately 30 yards away, then fire off a couple of arrows just to make sure everything is copacetic.
My two main reasons why I do this;
- 'TOO" make sure my equipment is still on target and working properly
- 'TOO' get used to shooting with all my shit on me, especially during the winter with my winter gear on, including having my back-pack and/or climber on as well.
I have always done 'still hunts' 'TOO' and from all my hunting locations with an arrow nocked - always ready 'TOO' 'Rock& Roll'.
I've killed plenty of wild game this way over the years.
