Me and Tyra were out shooting this evening. I told her "Something don't feel right with my bow". So I knocked another arrow, drew back....and BAAAAAAAMMMMM! It exploded!

After we got ice on my wrist from where the string slapped me, we started wondering where the arrow went. We looked all beyond the target to no avail. Walking back we started picking up pieces. This is all we found.  Shocked

Lung, It looks like the cable's serving gave way. The cable isn't broke like yours. It appears to have just slipped out of the serving!
