crazy things can happen with compounds too. i was hunting from a tree once and came to full draw, because it was super cold and i wanted to confirm i could still draw the bow in the cold. i slowly started letting off on the bow, when unbeknown to me a twig from the cedar tree walked the string off the cam. the bow exploded in my hands. that ended the hunt and i was off to the bowshop, amazingly enough, there was no permanent damage to the bow from the sudden release of all that stored energy. still, that experience helped hasten me along to my recurve. I really like the KISS principle when it comes to bows.
