Default copper John's durable--I think so!!!!

First time ever dropping my bow from a tree ,and ive been hunting for ever. I was 25' in my old man climber (i know, i know, get a summit) Tree had some crooks where my upper section was placed putting the bow holder tiped back some what. My Q2 was not leaning forward enough to keep the weight forward. 1 1/2 hours into the hunt i was standing and turned to my right, when i turned back left i bumped the bow slightly sending it tipping backwards. i tried to grab it but missed and could only watch as it met terra firma. I was sick!! climbed down expecting the worst but the only damage was a carbon express snaped in half. My copper johns hit the roots hard enough to embed wood in the allen set screws and take a chunk out of the roots, but they appeared ok as well as the whisker buisket drop tine. what a relief!!! I did go him and shoot to see if all was well, but i was hitting three inches to the right. guess the windage got bumped off a little. readjusted and am now hitting 20 and 30 yards right on. Be careful people and dont let it happen to you, it could have been costly. Just ranting, thanks for reading.
