Never dropped one shooting...but my bow did decide to jump outta my treestand from about 22 feet in the air. That sucked alot.

I don't have a wrist sling on mine...don't figure I need one, but dad and a bunch of other people keep one on their bows, in case that it does slip out of their hand.

Look into one, they're cheap, and when it comes down to it, $5-10 bow wrist sling, or $100 on a bow repair, the sling is the much better option.
