Default Issue with my Limb Driver

Well, in fairness... it might have been a user issue.

I noticed over the past week that my shooting started getting even more wild than normal.

I shot a 3D shoot on Saturday.... and I missed two targets... completely.... I've never even missed one.... and on this day.... I missed TWO! Despite that, I still managed a 278, because I shot extremely well... was making good releases and all that.

On Sunday, I went to another 3D shoot. I missed 6 targets clean... SIX! All of them going low. I missed a bedded buck at 20 yards.... and shot a full 10 feet in front of it... the arrow skipped up and stuck in the guts... I saved a 5... but I couldn't count it. I finished with a 195.... by FAR the lowest score I've ever shot.

Monday afternoon rolls around.... and at this point I have zero confidence in myself. I frankly just think I suck. I was with a buddy over at the range across the street from work shooting a couple fun 5 spot games... and I kept having to move my sight down more and more. At some point, I drew back and I noticed that my Limb Driver wasn't coming up more than about 25% of the way... depending on how hard I drew the bow... sometimes it wouldn't come up at all... sometimes it would come almost all the way up..... I was practically shooting off the shelf. That explains a lot.

The spring inside the rest somehow came unsprung. I backed the set out.... twisted it back up... lock tited it good... and tightened it back up.

The damage is done though.... my mental game is suffering big time.
