What I realized was that my arrow actually fell off the string a millisecond prior to the “explosion”. On my way to the bow shop immediately following the incident, I began to replay the events in my mind. I was in such a state of shock it took me a several seconds to figure out that the string on my bow snapped, resulting in the catastrophic equipment failure. Next thing I know my bow “explodes”, pieces (believe they were the harmonic dampeners) go flying and the buck ran off. I pulled back my Mathews Reezen 6.5 and “erped” to stop the buck all in one motion. After waiting him out for a while, he finally made his move allowing me a 30 yard, broadside shot chip shot. It was one of the biggest dear I’ve ever had within bow range and a deer I’ve been hunting all season. On Saturday, I stalked within range of a hammer that was tending a hot, bedded doe. To be clear, I am not a bow tech or engineer. The following depiction of the events that occurred Saturday is based on my personal opinion and experience. This past weekend I had an unfortunate accident with my Mathews Reezen 6.5 that I wanted to share in order to help others avoid the same.
