KrAzY Posted August 19, 2014 Share #1 Posted August 19, 2014 While out shooting tonight, the arrow mechanical arrow rest snapped into two parts. The first part went flying somewhere, and the second part was a rogue projectile that slammed again my forearm, and went whizzing past my ear. Now my bow is out of commission until I can muster up another $100 to get a new arrow drop AWWC will be happy that Bambi season opens in a few days and I will not be out at the start of it this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pokey Posted August 19, 2014 Share #6 Posted August 19, 2014 Hell...they mock when you are looking. Especially these suburban deer and geese. Just daring you to harvest. GO ahead shoot me, they say. (It's in their eyes) and watch all the housewives rise up in anger over the idea of honest meat. Little do they know, these wives, there is no such thing as a burger or tuna tree.

jsharr Posted August 19, 2014 Share #10 Posted August 19, 2014 I don't run fast dig a pit and use your useless arrows as punji sticks. you can dip them in SW's jokes. Those things would be deadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerrySTL Posted August 19, 2014 Share #16 Posted August 19, 2014 I shot an arrow mechanical arrow rest into the air Half fell to earth I know not where, For so swiftly it flew, the sight Could not follow it in its flight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zealot Posted August 19, 2014 Share #17 Posted August 19, 2014 Which rest were you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrAzY Posted August 19, 2014 Author Share #18 Posted August 19, 2014 Shoot off the shelf! ;-) Sorry to hear it. The shelf sits 1.5 inches lower then where the nock clicks into my D loop. Which rest were you using? Trophy Ridge makes a quick release arrow rest. It is kind of a new design compared to the two finger arrow drop you see on a lot of bows. Here is a video of how the rest works... kind of cool in slow motion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrAzY Posted August 19, 2014 Author Share #22 Posted August 19, 2014 Second nock. Easy enough. ;-) I'll check out the video. The problem with having a second nock location is the vanes will hit the shelf and who knows where they will end up. If I was using feathers instead of Blazer vanes I would not have an issue... I was even looking at changing everything on my arrows over to shoot using fobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
