Thanks for the great comments guys. I'm just glad to have a big guy like that down. So now I feel like alot of the pressure is off me. Switching to the old stick and string for a while now. Gotta help my brothers in the bowhunting contest.
Pulled back on one last nite. As he got closer, saw that he was only a 6pt. So I go to let my bow down and "THWANG!!!", the string popped off the pulleys. That has never happened to me before. The buck spooked a little and scurried off. But what really sucked is that I'm left there with a bow that won't work and no way to restring it in the stand, and a nice 8pt walks right under me trailing the 6 point. Man, it was sad. All I could do was watch.
