Not a good weekend...
It really has been a crap few days archery wise.

Monday: Walking back to the shooting line, 9 arrows in the quiver, didn't realise that one of them had come over all rogue and decided to get stuck in one of the holes on the sight bar of my Contender-X. Snapped 2in off the top of it without really noticing...never seen that done before.

Over the course of the weekend I also managed to bend/break 6 screw in points, leaving me with 6 shootable arrows.

Tuesday: In the toilet at work, mobile phone on belt loop. Pulling trousers up, off came the mobile phone into the toilet. Not happy. Still, **** (!) happens, thats why I insure my phones. No great issue until I get to the range last night and realise that bowbuddy not only has all my bow setup details in it and all my PB's...but also all my sightmarks. Least I only need 70m for the weekend.

i've done the whole loo and phone thing. Was wearing a hoodie with one of those pouches in the front, phone was in the pouch, stood up and tunred round to flush and in went the phone. fished it out, disassembled it and out in on radiator to dry out for 24 hours before reassmebling. Worked fine....except the 0 button refused to do anything!
