Newbie Mistake

[Masboy]

There,s a lot of things I should be shot for ,thinking about doing ,doing, an not paying attention

When removing a bolt (w/broadhead) from my quiver I accidentally tapped the string with the broadhead. Now I have to order a new string to replace my new string!

forehead slap.

Never had this problem, but now it makes me stop and think. I always have my bow case in the truck, and my stringer, but not with me in the woods. May have to change, and start bringing an extra string, and the striger with me. I would had for this to happen, then have to walk all the way back to the truck.

I do need another string, as the extra one I have, doesn't shoot the same as the one on the bow, so it wouldn't do me much good.....RR

Just think about if your bow was not a recurve, but a compound crossbow. Your hunt or shooting would be over until you got to a press to restring the bow again. Not a 5 minute job like it is to replace a string with an Excalibur.

I know more then one person that tapes a spare string to the stock (just below the top ridge) with Duct tape just incase something like this happens.

Same here, I always had one spare taped in Saran Wrap under Duct Tape on the opposite cheek side. For me a swap in the field takes place under a minute. I am glad the back up was there but I never required it.

I've got a little zippered pouch on the stock on the opposite side from my cheek. I keep a couple spare strings, wax, stringing aid, and a couple scope batteries in it. That way I don't forget to bring that stuff with me it goes with me whenever the bow goes.

Just another good reason to use mechanicals.

If it makes you feel better, I feared something along these lines too so I ordered a second string along with my bow... Just in case!
