* if you happen to have an extra couple grand laying around I agree. To me this falls in the same camp as "don't pack your fears".
When I was younger (original bushnell yardage pro I think) I left my rangefinder on the bumper of my pickup when we were shooting and drove off, went back looking but couldn’t find it.I’d add a rangefinder to the list that should be backed up. At least I can’t judge distance very well without one.
I ran my bow over with my truck in 2020 after an elk hunt. I had come back a little after dusk and set it down behind my truck to open my topper, and then got distracted. Backed out right over a limb pocket.I want to know how many guys have had a bow fail on them in the woods to the point that their hunt would be over if they didn't have a backup?

For me that has never happened, but maybe I just don't hunt hard enough. I did cut halfway through a string once with a broadhead one year but still killed a bull with it.![]()
I ran over my bow probably in the 2012 timeframe, but my tire centered the bow. It was a rytera alien x, i ruined everything on my bow, but besides one splinter on the edge of the limb, the bow was ok. Went to the valley the next day and bought accessories and got it dialed back in that dayI ran my bow over with my truck in 2020 after an elk hunt.

I bought a new bow the next day, sent Spot Hogg my sight and they replaced what was broken, borrowed a sight, the rest was fine, and I missed some time broadhead tuning and sighting in. I've only shot one bow as well as the one I ran over, and even though the replacement was the same bow, it was among the worst shooting I have had.
