Been there done that one!! I don't know how many times its happened but its happened enough. I can't pull my recurve back and hold the entire draw weight and wait for my deer to get to its opening like you wheely bow guys do. I have to draw when the deer is pretty much right there where I need him to be to do the shooting and at times a person gets busted drawing or you can't draw because there looking in your direction. Most of the times they were does and fawns but on 2 different occasions they were 130" bucks that I would of shot. Its frustrating but thats hunting!!
That cold weather is a pain Jeff!! So far I haven't had that happen yet but I've had very close calls where I was almost not able to get it back. To much clothing and cold muscles make it a pain to pull a bow back!! Just ask Jeff!!
