That sucks.  Wonder how that even could happen.  Well good luck using the crossbow I guess.

Good thing it didn't happen while you were drawing back on a deer.  Good luck!

I'm assuming a scrub oak got caught between string and cam

Well ended the night on a decent note..  sorry for delay had a tournament to get to..  I had 3 does a spike a really small body and racked 8 come in..  than had a big body 4 point come in with busted leg..  ended up taking him at 34 yrds..  this will be my first and last with the x bow until I can no longer draw a compound..  was to bulky awkward for me to maneuver and i couldn't see where i hit...  ended up a touch back but still only made it 50 yrds..  i will post pics tomorrow....

I will say this being a compound guy I really don't see a lot of advantage with x bow over compound...  yes you dont have to draw.   But to me it felt like more movement and way more awkward... it felt to me more cumbersome to shouldering a gun...  maybe its just me but was my opinion after last night's hunt
