I know my ruined arrow and cut string was a result of loose plastic nock that came off the arrow which was then loaded into the 380 bow unnoticed (black nock on a black arrow).After the scary experience I checked several things and eventually found two of the other new arrows with nocks loose enough...

Thank you Boo for helping me post my picture of the plastic nock with ribs. It is a little fuzzy but the ribs show.

My son was getting ready to decock the bow and when he pulled the arrow out, I saw something fall out of the bow thinking the bow had lost some part from inside.

Prayers for your wife and family

I posted this added information on my Utah Elk hunt post but I think some may have missed it and with "a little bit of humor" in it, I thought it important to repost it. In response to request for more hunt info, let me say that my two years of successfully bagging an elk have been a direc...

In response to request for more hunt info, let me say that my two years of successfully bagging an elk have been a direct result of this forum. After tearing a bicep tendon in both the right and left arm, I qualified for a handicap crossbow hunting permit in the state of Utah. My first internet sear...
