Default Bad day in the woods....

Well guys, finally after all these years, I had an equipment failure in the woods.

This year, on my Allegiance I decided to shoot a Limb Driver rest. I love the rest, simple, easy to tune and accurate as anything I've shot.

So....I moved to a new set for the afternoon hunt. I laid the bow on the ground, hooked up my climber, hooked the bow to my pull rope and up I went. About 3/4 of the way up the tree, there was a decent sized limb that I had to saw off. Well, I sawed it off alright. It fell right on the bow. I didn't think a whole lot of it until I started to bring the bow up the tree. The limb fell, and landed between the riser and the string, knocking my quiver off the bow. Oh well I thought, I can fish it off the ground. Then, I noticed the cord for the LD hanging. That stinkin' limb hit that cord and pulled it out of the limb housing.

Ruined that days hunt.

So now, just to be safe, I carry spare cord, a lighter and a couple of allen wrenches with me to fix it if it ever happens again. In no way is it the fault of the rest. It was just a stupid thing that happened on my part.

Just thought I'd rant.
