I always, always velcro my release to my bow now. I usually buy an extra one if we are going out of state to hunt.

:DLast year my dad forgot to buy his licence. He tore apart everything he packed and called his wife to try and find it. It's a good thing he didn't shoot anything.

I didn't realize I forgot my bow until I was all sprayed down, with my treestand and daypack on my back, and flashlight already strapped to my head.

That's one of those moments in time, and feelings... that words really can't describe. [:-]

Guilty of this last year...was using my climber, got up about 35 feet in a beech tree, awesome spot, reach down to grab my bow rope...and there was nothing attached to it. So, down I go, re-hook, climb up, pull up bow..and now sweat is raining down and I'm pissed off. Needless to say, not the best hunt I ever had!

Haven't ever forgotten the bow, but I have left the release in my truck before. Wasn't too happy that day...

thanks for the reminder:)

ive left college and got half way home on a friday, hoping to be on stand by 3 at the latest and realized there aint no bow in my truck. at school i lock it up at the campus police department. well...when all you think about thursday and friday is gettin on stand friday after class, well...you tend to be in a hurry. done it a couple times lol...its a 2 block drive to the police station..but i do forget lol.

once i went to go squirrel hunting when i was 16. was taking my 22lr. grabbed a box of shells and the small game coat and opened the case to make sure it was the 22. scope, wood stock..yep...get there, i got a 308...i felt like a fool. just by peeking at the rifle they look similar..same color wood and similar scope...

I'll never attach my release to my bow string again(not implying that's what you did, your post just reminded me of this).

The night before opening day of fall bow 3 years ago, Iclipped my release to my bow string right on top of the bottom camand set iton top of my case for the next morning. That night my brother and his girlfriend came for dinner. While I was cleaning up my bro went and pulled my bow back and therelease wrapped around the cam, cracking it.....as well as popping the string off.

Stupid on my part for leaving it on top of the case, and clipping the release to my string.Needless to say I learned two lessons.

I spent that Saturday at the pro-shop instead of the field.

Never forgot the bow. Myrelease fingers are attached. But arrows............Left them home once, but not on a hunt luckily.

LOL....ya know, I posted actually posted this as a way of busting on someone; I had no idea it had actually been done before......I can understand leaving the release at home or something...........I had no idea.....Guess the joke's on me, huh? [&:]:eek:

RE: Don't forget the MOST important item.....
 

I always keep an extra release in my fanny pack just in case.
