Default RE: a what if question about strings

Bad things happen to dumb people. Lemme give you a little example of one of my dumber moves. A buddy and me saw these huge fish in a pond, from an overhang up above it. We tried and tried to catch one. Threw everything under the sun in front of them, nada. This was over a two-three day period. Finally, I got the bright idea to bow hunt them. I had a compound vericle, got the bow reel, the special arrow, the line, yadyada. We get out there, all set up. I take real careful aim, cause you gotta aim a little low on fish in the water, and let one fly. Really looked like a good shot, however the law of stupidity caught up w/ me because the nylon braided line was not long enough for the arrow to hit the water, which caused a severe jolt when it hit the end of the line. My troubles weren't quite over yet however, because after the line quit stretching downward, it reversed the direction of the arrow which headed back at me at what seemed like an incredible speed. And believe it or not, it bottomed out again way up there, and headed back down again. This was not the dumbest thing I've ever done, but it's up there.

Moral of the story: Check you string before ya pull the trigger!!
