I'm still SHAKING
« on: March 19, 2011, 09:09:00 PM »
Just got my Zipper l/b back from 4runner he installed a beautiful set of skins on the limbs,being excited I strung it up and took a few shots with it.Well I shot about 15 shots through it when then string parted,scared me to death,doesn't look like it damaged the bow,string didn't look like it was damaged,just glad it didn't hurt the bow.

It's understandable that you'd be shaking.

I'm glad that both you and the bow are ok.

It seems that "Murphy" never misses out on a chance to make himself known.

I thank God everything turned out as it did.

God bless,Mudd

First couple of times a string or limb goes it will cause the pucker factor to rise, that's for sure...

Glad you and the bow escaped unscratched...

“instinctive archery” is more like playing the violin. Without practice you may remember the mechanics, but you will not be a virtuoso.

Glad you are OK!  And the bow too.

I am relatively new to archery and still wonder when to replace strings.  I tend to be conservative when I get a new bow and just pick up a new string no matter what.

Hey Bud take good care of the Zipper or I may have to take it from you. lol

I've only had one string go on me and thankfully it didn't completely break. Most damage I had was when a nock broke on an arrow , cracked the riser. So if you can walk away without damage, thank your lucky stars.

Modern string material is so tough,I usualy give it little thought.I am terrable about not checking my strings.Especialy the strings I use to tiller bows.They get slid up and down unfinished limbs daily.It seems I'm always saying "ahh she'll be good for one more bow."Even at that I have only had a few strings break,and it is always a little unnerving.I'm glad everyone came through it o.k.,Larry.It seems strings will always either break at a loop or where the arrow is nocked.Is that the case here?

Never had a string break, but when the cracked nock gave way last year it was a real shock.  Glad you and your bow are okay.  :scared:
