I don't discount the occurrence at all. But I'm also not alarmed by a single occurrence on an almost 5yr old bow I don't know the history of.
Glad everyone is OK.
I'm with you. Bows fail all the time, you should see some of the scary things people are shooting. This time of year, at the bow shop I go to, there are lots of bows coming in that the workers don't even want to test fire!
