Nope, never dropped my bow. My best-friend dropped his bow a few years back. He said that he just watched it fall and he also said it seemed like it was slow-motion. He said the bow hit the ground pretty much up-right, and the limb compressed on the earth then threw the bow up another 5 feet or so. We went over the bow for awhile and found everything was okay. He went out to test shoot it and the thing was still dead on out to 40 yards! He got lucky that the bow hit in an up-right position as it just put pressure on the limb which the bow is designed to do!
