Black eyes and bullseye's.
Well with deer season right around the corner I have been starting to amp up my archery practice. Three weeks ago I bit the bullet and bought myself a fancy shiny new bowtech revolt. I was just starting to get it dialed in, and was smoking bullseye's out to 80 yards. Was feeling like a straight up OG a boss the man. I should of known better. Lady karma laughed at me said hold my beer then she did a thing. I was drawing back for a easy 20 yard shot got about 3/4's of the way drawn back, and boom my awesome brand new thumb release slipped out of my sweaty hand shot forward bounced off the roller guard and one of my cables, and bounced back hitting me square in the eye. almost instant black eye. I have a messed up face, messed up bow, a messed up cable, and some messed up pride. Well played karma well played. Anybody else have some comical oops moments?

Re: Black eyes and bullseye's.
Oh yeah.
One time I was practicing and accidentally bumped the trigger on my release just as I hit the hump on my cams right before let off at maximum pull. I punched myself with my release hand that was suddenly flying back at warp speed right in the kisser HARD and bloodied my nose bad. I staggered on my feet almost losing my balance. Think I saw stars for a bit and almost got a TKO but really the only thing hurt was my pride. Just glad it didn’t happen on a deer.
Oh and my carbon arrow ended up missing the target and hitting a concrete wall. It was destroyed.

Yeah, done similar stuff several times. Usually after getting a new release and trying to get the trigger pull juuuuusssst right.

I had an old caliper release explode on me at 3/4 draw. Punched myself in the face hard and sunk the arrow into the wall of my garage.
