Has something like that happen to me years ago it was with a cheap senika compound when I was about 13 I drew it back it was at 45lbs the limb snaped clean in half the upper limb and it went flying around my right shoulder missing my head by inches. Got lucky it would of given me a concusion if not worse. But the good thing is I got a new nice bow out of it since I have archery leagues starting the next day. Got me a Jennings Rackmaster quad. Good bow still have it but I am upgrading this year to the drenalin.
