"Oh-NO-o-second"

[TJ Mason]

Just had an "Oh-NO-o-second" tonight...

After reading an article in Bow International (dangerous thing, ban it!), I decided to do some much needed maintenance on the thumb release that I use when shooting compound. It looked easy enough. So I took the screws out, prised the body open and --- PING! Bits flew everywhere! The release I use is a lot more complex than the ones shown in the article, and has (or rather had) a lot more springs inside.

Oh well, just one more tiny little spring to find, I'm sure it'll turn up...

Didn't put it in a poly bag like they did then, TJ#???</p>

The daftest part is that I DID put it in a poly bag initially, and left the holding screws partly screwed in. But I couldn't get the case open while it was in the bag, so I took it out to try and prise the body open with a Stanley knife. It still wouldn't move. I thought the screws might be jamming the body in place, so I took them out, worked the Stanley knife in again and success! Well, sort of.

The spring turned up this morning by some miracle. Now I've just got to get the thing back together.
