Bad luck

My buddy came up yesterday for a short visit and I wanted to show him my new toy. I bought a Diamond Marquis about a month ago. Well he drawed it back and when he was letting it off and the string slipped from his fingers. My heart just sank. The bow swarmed on him, I couldnt believe what just happend. So I'm taking back to the shop today and let them fix it. The only damage I could find was to the string, I sure hope it didnt damage anything else. I had a string break on my Strike Eagle one time all I had to do was replace the string, no damage to the bow. I sure hope I'm that lucky again.

Lesson learned. Don't let people handle your bow, the temptation to draw is too great, especially for non-archers.

Yeah I agree with this. Handling a bow is like handling a firearm. You have to know the rules to keep you and everyone else safe. Not to mention to keep them from damaging it.

Good luck.
