Similar situation happened to me 2 months ago. I was at a 3d shoot and on the 21st target I started to draw and ended up hitting myself in the mouth. I for some reason assumed that I did not close the release inside the loop but on it. SO I tried to shoot again and same result, this time I drew blood. My loop did not break it just wore down enough that the jaws would slip over it. Unfortunately that was not the worse part. I went to look for my arrows I found one, also for a hornets nest, I think final count was one lost arrow and 6 stings. Oh by the way this was my 1st shoot. Good times.
