Season before last I was half way through my morning hunt when I got a call to come track a deer. I took my time gearing down and taking my stand down etc. (I hunt public land and use a lock on) I took my time walking back the half mile to the truck called my woman to meet me with the dog and leads. Got to the truck and actually broke a big sweat as I didn’t take any cooling breaks back. I set my bow down by my tire dropped the tail gate set the stand and back pack in the bed and called her to see where she was at. She wasn’t far from meeting location so I grabbed my water and decided to hurry over there since she was already mad she had to bring me the dog. I threw the truck in reverse eased on the gas and heard a pop. My heart sank Yuhp you guessed it. Just ran over my brand new Mathews vertix. I jumped out panicking first thing I noticed my quiver snapped with all three of my arrows. My sight had folded over but wasn’t broken that I could tell.
Unfortunately I just bought the bow from west houston archery after my bowtech blew up in full draw on a buck the season before that. Just a run of bad luck with my last two bows all though both have killed quite a few animals since their purchase!
When I evaluated my bow I didn’t notice any cracks or warping or broken/ bent limbs or anything at that matter. I’m not sure the cane is quite bent or supposed to look this way. I gathered the courage to draw it back and it drew smooth until just before end of cycle it clicked. I eased it down and left it alone. Taking to the shop next month. I have a back up bow just curious as to what y’all think it may be. If it’s fixable I’m getting new strings and a full tune up with what ever replacement parts she may need.
Lesson learned.
