12pter....10yds...release loop broke
 

I rattled in a nice 12pointer and he got about 10 yds when i drew for the shot. I got half way back in my draw and my relase loop broke and the arrow sailed about 10 feet over him. I could have cried. That was the biggest deer i have ever seen and somethin like that had to happen. Its crazy

OH MAN, I couldn't even think about that happening to me, I bet you was sick.

My buddy had a 150+ class buck broadside at 20 yards and had the pin that holds the head of his Scott Lil' Goose snap!!! He found his arrow about 100 yards out in the field. Never seen the buck again.

Word's are meaningless when something like this happens....your biggest Buck and probably your closest shot....I hope you get another shot and that for your sake it's soon!!!!!!!!

...Hmmm, by definition I would add that to the list on the "Murphy's Law" thread.

You have my sincere condolences.<img src=icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle>

Man, i'm really sorry to hear that. It makes me sick and I wasn't the one it happened to. Hope you get another chance. Good luck

Murphy joins me on my hunts too. Sorry to hear about that. Last year the rubber tube that aligns my peep snapped while I was at full draw.

Noise scarred the deer and my peep was sideways. Sucks. Made me go back to the recurve for a while...

bummer man, but its another reason to start cutting back on the gizmo's and gadgets! Just think if that would have happened to ya in the middle of no where alaska! Hunts OVER!

Man I feel your pain, what should have been my first bowkill last year, never happened due to a stupid limb with dry leaves, the buck came in form exactly the opposite direction I expected, he was about 15-18 yards broadside and I came to full draw and just as I was bringing the pin onto his shoulder I hit this limb with my riser!!! The buck froze and stared right at me, I froze, after an eternity he started feeding again, I let down, took half a step back from the limb, he took 2 steps further, now he was 13-16 yards out now broadside, I came to full draw and the exact same thing happened again only this time he winded me and was gone!!!

I know your pain, hang in there, hopefully you will get another chance.
