    Yes actually. Picked up the Bear legion. I shot some others but this one really jumped out at me. I'm happy with it. Gonna get in some shooting in the next day or two. I'll take some pics then.

    Well news on the new bow. I started out this morning shooting nice groups.Then something bad happened. Something went twang as I released an arrow. Next thing I knew I was holding a bow that the string was no longer where it was supposed to be. Needless to say I'll be making the trek back to the shop to get it fixed. I just hope no major damage has been done besides my arrow and the small scrape I have by my wrist. I did find both half's of my arrow. The pointy end was about 25 yds away (behind the target) and the fletching was 8 ft to my right. Here's the group.

    Did the string get derailed?

    I think so. The string still looks like its all in one piece. There is a clip missing. Don't know it that cause it or not.

    I had my old AR derail on me a few times earlier this year, and couldn't find an issue. We think it may have just been caused from not having the nock fully on the string. Hope you get it lined out.

    ouch. Now I feel bad for recommending you get a new one; altho I didn't say get a Bear.
    could be another example of "if it ain't broke...." At least no one was hurt.
    Good luck! Hope it's nothing serious.
