Default Bad day shooting yesterday

I was having some trouble shooting my bow in, so I figured I would start at square one again. I just finished the first stage of papertuning and moved back to 10 yards. Fired my first shot and it went high and into the cow field. Searched for an hour and couldn't find it. I finished up the paper tuning and wanted to shot one last shot. Let go and heard a loud snap. My peep came out of the string and was hanging there. Now I have to Find the time to take it to the proshop to get it put back in.
