Down in Branson I noticed that I had a screw coming loose (har har har) on my arrow. The screw that holds the safety slide stopper on was loose and I tried to tighten it but it seemed stripped out.

Instead of rooting around for another arrow, I just kept shooting it. Soon Kendall hit a nice carp that needed a back-up arrow. I shot it and pulled on my line. I got the line but the slide came off. Kendall pulled on the his arrow and it pulled out of the carp. I watched the carp make lazy circles into the deeper water while Kendall reeled in his line and started chasing after the fish. Luckily my arrow had hit the fish through the gills so it didn't go far before it just rolled over. It was down in about 8-10ft of water and we could just barely see it's light colored belly shining up from the depths. Kendall arrowed it again and recovered my arrow.

So.... as of yet... I still have not lost a single arrow... but I know that day is coming.
