Your very fortunate deertale. Just before a field/hunter target round I was stretching at bit. I pulled back and put the pin on the target and BAM, a brain fart and I released. The string tore one of the teardrops (didn't hear that phrase for a long time) off and there were pieces all over the woods. Luckily there was no damage to the limbs or riser, but it did a job on my sight and my ego.
