I've been shooting a long time and I have never had anything happen while shooting like what took place this past week. I was at the shop, just shooting three spot and BS'n with the owners. I draw back and when I released, POW, a sharp crack. I was kind of dumb founded at first. I looked at the bow, its OK, then I realized something hit me in the wrist. One of my nocks broke at the shot. The arrow was down range, sticking in the target about 3 low, sothe energy was transferred to the arrow. We checked the bow over closely and its OK. But man, I was a little gun shy for a couple shots.
Just a word of advise. Check those nocks! My incident could have been a lot worse.
