I'm almost 40, my dad had my bro and I shooting a bow somewhere around 6-7 years old. Started pulling a big ole green Robin Hood longbow at camp with mom while dad and company were out in the woods chasing animals. Obviously, due to technology we graduated to compounds somewhere along the way.
I've never had a back up bow in my life, mainly due to the fact that I've never had a serious issue while out in the field........ Until this year, that's why I thought I'd start this thread, one, to hear some fixed casualties and B, maybe learn something from your events. (I did moonlight at a archery shop for a few years, so that helped)
So my partner came back to camp this year and said "I'm screwed"
He pulled his bow back and his peep went flinging out of the string. It turns out the serving wore through some how?
I used a rachet strap to decompress the bow, split the string and reinstalled the peep.
I keep all sorts of archery tools, but no serving (now I will), so the only thing I could find to tie it in was......8lb test fishing line!!
Blahahaha
I wish I could say he drew back and shot an animal 2 days later, but he didn't. It did hold up though.
