RE: Accidental dry-fire
I never draw one of these new fancy compounds without and arrow in it.
However back aroundlate 60's early 70'ssome of ushad what was called a clicker on our target bows. It was a draw check, when you got your bow to full draw it slid off the end of your arrowand made a clicking sound when it hit the side of your bow letting you know you was at full draw, and to release the arrow!
WellI was getting my equipment ready the day befor the World Championship at Cobo Hall, and was drawing my bow back in the house aiming at an alarm clock my dad had on the fridge, when my clicker went off, I got a good clean release and pin wheeled thatsucker right to the wall. Dad had just come out of the bathroom in time to see the whole thing, and that was the last time I was allowed to draw my bow in the house!
And yes I have a story for everything!
