With all the broken bows around lately I guess this was destiny!

[Bisch]

I went out to shoot the 3D shoot at Austin Archery Club today. There was quite a few trad shooters and it was a beautiful morning. I pulled my longbow out first and shot the course with a couple others and had a great time. I shot well and decided to get my recurve out and shoot a second round. We walked up to target number 1 and another group of trad guys was shooting at target 30 just a few yards down the road. I walked down to talk to a few friends and see how their day was going. While standing there along the side of the road, a pick-up truck came driving down the road to exit the range. As he passed by us I felt my bow tick against his truck. Before I could even react, the bottom limb tip somehow got wedged in the small gap between the cab and the bed of the pick-up and he was dragging me down the road. I yelled and he stopped but it was too late. The damage had been done and the fiberglass in the curve of the bottom limb had been cracked. OMG!!!!!! I could not believe this. I have stood on that road and watched 1000 or more cars go by me over the years and have never even suspected that this scenario could have ever happened. This was not his fault (he was a friend of mine) nor mine really. I think it was just one of those freaky things that happens sometimes.





Oh well, I have a REALLY good friend of mine who is a bow builder and I'm sure he will fix me up with a new set of limbs. The problem is that it really takes a long time to become one with a bow and train it to do what you want it to.

I think I will go cry now!

we need to call sackett, he will need the practice

No investigation needed Jeff! Everything was on the up and up. It is just sad when these type things happen.

BTW, how did you shoot in Waco yesterday?
