When someone working on your bow says "Hold on, don't let down," please, don't press the trigger of your release.

Working on a bow forcustomer today, I wanted him to shoot the bow before leaving. I handed him an arrow, he shot it fine. I handed him a second arrow and it was too short. He drew back and it fell off the rest.

No big deal; "Hold on, don't let down. I'll grab that for you."

As I pull the arrow off the string something happens and I'm seeing an arrow hit the concrete wall next to us and my wrist is killing me. The customer had accidentally hit his trigger and dry fired his bow; on my wrist.

Fortunately my wrist absorbed the majority of the impact and it didn't hurt his bow.

So, a couple reminders;

1.) If someone working on your bow says something, please pay attention.
2.) Keep your fingerbehind the trigger.
3.) If for some reason you're in a situation where you dry fire your bow on someone's wrist, say something more than just "Oh man, did I getcha?"
