[QUOTE="djdcsi, post: 544141, member: 69"] I had the same problem as he described "letting down" or de-cocking the arrow this weekend. I had just put one arrow into an elk and before trailing loaded another arrow. After finding the elk and not needing a followup shot I was letting the arrow down. Got a loud pop, handle smacking the back of my hand, and the arrow basically dry firing into a bush. The square head on the receiver is bent and on closer inspection its bearing is trashed. The complete damage has yet to be assessed. I have been shooting the Tac-15 since they first went for sale to the public, and this is the second season I've used it. I haven't had to de-cock with an arrow installed very often except during the hunt. It WILL get your attention, besides being very painful for at least a week! Not to mention the severe safety hazard of the arrow departing unexpectantly. I know the experience will always give me second thoughts when this must be performed in the future. Dave [/QUOTE]
