i did exactly the same thing, slightly damaging my scythian bow
had been shooting the recurve for about 3 hrs and thought id chuck a few off the scythian to wind down and for a bit of fun. On the first shot, had hold of it like a recurve and of course, no sling.
Bow went shooting out of my hand and hit the deck a few metres forwards. chipped some of the fibreglass and a little of the wood on the nock. most annoying! it was checked and is still fine, just cosmetic so i sealed it with a little resin to be on the safe side, but still damned annoying!!
