I knew better.........
« on: July 16, 2018, 02:56:30 PM »
Busy packing for the move to Georgia......took a couple of hours off to go shoot with KAT and huntmaster70 on Sunday morning. Came home and got right back at it with the packing......it was hotter than a pepper sprout. Worked the rest of the day and crashed about 8 pm. Went out this morning to go to the post office and there it was..... my ILF Zipper with the Z-4 limbs.......still strung........ :banghead: and one of the limbs had a 90 degree bend in it. Just had to much stuff on my mind and forgot all about it. Lesson learned the hard way........so one les s set of limbs to pack for the trip south. :dunno:

Sorry for your loss. Don’t you just hate it when life gets in the way? It must have been a real barn burner to bend a limb like that. I have been taking only one bow to the range lately because it so blasted hot. Usually I have them strung in their case but not for more than a few hours. After your experience I may modify my way of keeping them covered in the back of my Escape.

I have a bunch of limbs so I'm not completely beat on this.......bad part is I don't think the Z-4 limbs are available anymore. The rack is full......we'll suffer thru my stupidity........ :biglaugh:

You should have took my advice to just stay here. :knothead: (WAY too much work to pack up & move) That does suck though, you were shooting that setup well!

IMO that was actually good fortune.  That limb was a failure waiting to happen--at least it didn't go when you were shooting.  Epoxy has to be cooked at temps way higher than it will ever get outdoors (unless you are camped near a volcano).

I took it that the bow was still in his car. :dunno:
