On saturday, shooting at SoCo2, my bow was on the rest while I was filling my face with a sandwich. A particularly zealous gust of wind took the bow off the rest and placed it on the floor.

A quick look over the bow confirmed that the expensive bits were OK, but the glue had given up on the cartel extender and the threaded socket had moved about 1/2" up the rod. I really didn't want to take it off so I checked it was still tightly on, not being able to move it any further, I didn't dig around for the spare I have.

After a little while, when shooting, my longrod and V-bar followed my arrow towards the target, not being aerodynamic and considerably heavier it only made it a yard or two. This was followed by mick giggling me having a minor tantrum and walking off towards the shop effing and blinding.

lesson learned : next time I suspect something's damaged I'll take it off the bow..if only to save the laughter..
