Let's here them. My biggest one was dropping my bow from around 30ft up. Nothing like seeing 2 grand worth of equipment tumbling down. What's yalls biggest mishaps in the woods or on the way to them.

LOL, thats good chevyman.
I once left my bow in the woods after a hunt. Had to go back and find it.
Also climbed and didn't tie it to the rope, im sure thats fairly normal.
Missed dozens of deer, wounded to many to mention. Im shooting a crossbow now btw.
Dry fired one, that wont happen again.
Sure was fun though, except for that wounded deer part. Its sickening.
Do you want to hear him gobble, or do you want to kill him.

Back when I was a poor graduate student, I dropped my bow out of the stand as I was trying to untie my pull-up rope. It broke the riser and snapped all of my arrows there were in the attached quiver. I climbed down, grabbed my rope and walked back to my stand dragging my bow behind me. I was unhappy to say the least!

Long time ago, I aimed down a hill on a doe (1 of 3) and released the arrow. Shot real low. Reason was the bottom cam hit the top portion of my stand upon release. The string and a buss cable (in 1993 a real cable) was half on. I had nothing to lose, so I pulled the string back and everything popped back into place. The 3 does had jumped back the way they came wondering what the heck. They stood there and just watched me. The one standing broadside, I said,bitch,you look like a 50 yard shot. I drew back, aimed my bottom 4-pin crosshair sight on her and released. Nailed her in the shoulder and tracked her about 100 yards where she laid. The cam had some nicks, so I had to get a new one.

When I was about 17 years old I was shooting robins in my grandfathers pasture. I had an old jennings bow set at 70 lbs with maybe 50% letoff. Without any warning the top limb snapped in half at full draw. The cam hit me right in the nose. It almost knocked me out. It bloodied my nose and blacked both my eyes.Im still not sure it didnt break my nose cause it took a month for the soarness to go away. I have also dropped my bow from the stand and forgot my quiver once.

I also once cut my string with a broadhead. Forgot about that. I set it down on the fourwheeler and climbed on. Somehow a arrow fell out and the little pressure cut it.
I was just a kid didn't know anything about archery. I had a old bear bow, no peep and the metal pins.
Do you want to hear him gobble, or do you want to kill him.

I wish you hadn't started this thread..It starting to bring back bad memories..I had a lease in Tn yrs ago..Got finished with my morning hunt and walked back to my truck where I layed my Mathews mq32 that dearly loved, on the ground behind my truck while I took my stand off my back, and threw it in the bed.Needless to say I forgot about it just long enough to back right over it three days into bow season..Bought a new Mathews and rebuilt the old one.smdh

I guess my biggest mishap was when I climbed up in my climber, pulled my bow and hung it on my bow holder. My next step is to detach my quiver and tie it around the tree and remove an arrow and place in my bow. When I went to remove my quiver, there was no quiver. I had taken it off when I was at the house to replace two arrows that I shot earlier and forgot to put in back on my bow. I just decided to sit there and watch, since my quiver was 45 minutes away. I was fortunate that a good buck didn't come by that morning.

Ah yes great memories coming back. I use a free flight release that you actually hold the trigger to draw your bow and let off to release. I had a small 6 and 8pt come by 30 yds well I had a rip in my glove and it hung the trigger when I released sending my arrow 10 ft over the back of the 8 pt. I couldn't help but laugh. When I miss I miss big.

When I miss I miss big. I have to press a button an when the pin settles just get comfortable an lrt off the button an it flies. But if you press the button an something happens as long as you don't let go.of the button you can ease it down seems to be more to be harder when a deer is in front of me lol

I missed a deer at nine yards one time....
