My Turn To Be the Dunce

[Trumpkin The Dwarf]

Done went and dry fired my Hoyt RX4 Ultra 10 days before our TX opener.

Was checking peep sight alignment, went to let down and "blammo"! String snapped in three pieces at the speed nock. Remarkably, I can't find anything else wrong on the bow! No cracks in limbs or riser, bent cams/axles, or anything. I put a spare string on to get it out of the press (cables had held up, btw), and it draws fine, with no noises or unusual feel/string travel).

Ordered some new strings, and will see what happens after tuning it back up, but at this point, I think it's living up to the Hoyt reputation.

As for my opening weekend, I will be just fine with my longbow. I like shooting it better anyways.

Stuff happens. I have seen some of the overly skeletonized cams bend on derails and such.

Glad your bow is ok. My son didn’t dame thing when we where setting his peep on his Mathews VXR. We got lucky like you only had to replace the strings and cables but his bow was only at about 68 pounds glad it didn’t have the 75 pound mods on it

It happens, not to me, but it happens.
Now it probably will!

That's kinda how I thought about things, lol. I specifically tuck my thumb away where it doesn't even graze the thumb button as I draw.
