So here we are, strolling through an afternoon post official competition on the second course. We made the scoring a little different in that there was no scorecard. We made it real simple, best arrow on a target gets one point, ties were no score. Now I must be honest, I switched bows to a 66” long Blacktail for the afternoon. It was a bow I had won the auction here on Tradgang supporting PBS. Well, we went out on the course cold (although Roger did graciously offer to warm up on the range first). Roger jumped out to a 3-0 lead, including the infamous buffalo shot. So I slowly creep back into the competition until it’s all noted at 6 targets each. Then it happens, gimme shot on a whitetail target, Roger had shot first and makes a solid kill shot. I’m thinking just settle in this is another push target, release and POW, arrow goes flying over the target and I thought my bow exploded. Now, there was an overhead pine limb that was nowhere near in the way when I set up. All I know is Roger was standing out of sight behind me and when I turned around to ask if he saw what happened and he said I don’t know as he shoved what looked like a piece of string in his pocket. Well, Roger went on to win the afternoon shootoff, but he mentioned something about me flinching on every shot after the incident. Well, I’ll let you all come to your own conclusions. 😇
