Default RE: Cut my string!

Decided to play it safe and stayed home. Plan on getting a new string this week. I had a cable break on me once while at full draw. It was while I was at an indoor range practicing. Sounded like a shotgun going off, my bow flew out of my hand and bounced down the range about 15 yards in pieces. Ever since I make it a point to check everything on my bow before shooting or hunting.
What really sucks is we just retuned my bow at the shop I use because my string had stretched. Live and learn I guess.

I don't know either way, but if it were me, and I was depending on it to harvest an animal, I'd replace ASAP!!!!! You'd hate to have a bwanna 12 pointer walk out in front of you and and have your bow blow up in your face. That wouldn't be pretty. Better safe than sorry is even a better way to put it.
