    Yup. Buddy grabbed 2 cases of Busch light out of the truck on my way to work today and didn't close the tailgate, and my bow, cased, flew across Randall road lol. Haven't shot it since, definitely want to get it checked out before Monday's hunt though. might be a good time to get that restring job I've been putting off till next year

    I cringe when I hear stories like this. Haven't had it happen yet luckily.

    Hope it's all in good working order, at least you got it back. Could have went unnoticed until it was too late and already picked up by someone else.

    Last season after killing my buck I left my bow in the grass as I was gutting it and ran it over with my john Deere gator going about 25 mph lol. Had to replace the quiver and rest but everything else was fine you should be good.

    My buddy ran his bow over with his truck (Dodge 2500 diesel) on Thanksgiving 2012. Bow is now a $1000 paper weight. I felt bad for him. I almost did the same dam thing with mine in the EXACT same field driveway last year. Luckily i set mine far enough to the side when I set it down.

    Ouch! Hope everything works out, no damge! BY the way, Busch Light, EEEEEEEKKKKKSSSSSS! That brings me back to the days in the 80`s when me n the boys were drinking Tuborgs! Bet a lot of you youngsters never even heard of that beer! Well, best of luck with your bow, keep us updated.

    Haha glad to see theres just as much concern about the beer as there was the bow, its looking like 1 week+ fror a string to get ordered. ****! I'm gonna shoot it here in a second, Honestly I think its okay though. It flew off on a right turn at a stop sign and no other cars hit it

    Wow, I live pretty close to you and you're lucky it didn't get hit with all the traffic on Randall. Good luck getting everything setup and back in the woods!
