About 12 yeas ago I had a customer call me and said I need you to make me another rise because mine broke. Out of the clear blue I said what did you do run over it with your truck. He said who told you? I had no idea that is just what he had done.
He leaned his bow against the tailgate of his truck while he changed clothes and just backed over it.
Things do happen. Glad you came out ok Mr. Bill

Glad for you!

In our family we call that a "cheap lesson" nothing was damaged, and we still learned something. 55 years ago my uncle Ed taught me to lay the gear across the hood of the vehicle so it could be seen before we drove off.

You are one fortunate man, five miles of unpaved and paved road and the bow didn't bounce or blow off.  You were meant to keep that  bow.


My cousin left a shotgun on the roof top of his car and drove off. He remembered, when it rattled off the roof as he was driving, and it hit the pavement.  Still worked but had definite road rash.

Lost my sons hunting boots the very same way. Could not blame him at all. Sad part is I had bought them for him and had to go get him another pair. Expencive lesson. Glad yours did not cost you any money or grief.

I have done that - put the bow on top of my car years ago.  I was not as lucky - but at least the bow survived...    

[JamesKerr]

Glad to hear you didn't lose your bow. As I was reading your post I was just envisioning it happening.

Happens to all of us at some time or another. I'm new to the trad world but I left my compound at the range on time. Got home, opened the trunk and no bow case. Fortunatly I had passed a good friend at the gate of the range, he was comming in as I was going out, and he picked it up for me. Now I ALWAYS do one final walk around my car and range and check to be sure nothing has been left.
