Almost ENDING Levi Morgan's Career...

[@328am]

How Levi handled that is what makes the majority of successful people who they are. Praise God, no one was hurt!

[@arielmz316]

Wow...Levi took it like a champ!. He went up several notches in my book.

[@elijahmaddux8525]

This is the best archery content I have seen all year!

[@jonesboyshunting8673]

Oh my, the look on Levi's face when they happened was like f... here I go again. But all of you did a great job in handling the situation because it could have gotten worse real quick. I've been shooting at a local archery range a long time ago and watch my brother's release come apart and the arrow take an immediate left and go through a guys bow that was drawn between his arm and the bottom cam. Needless to say we all called it a night. Keep up the great work and great job on being as safe as possible and getting the tension off of that bow.

[@kschmo3981]

This was genuinely anxiety inducing for me, but also entertaining as heck. Glad y'all made it out alive and in one piece...

[@TimkennedyMMA]

What an amazing week. I’m glad you didn’t lose a finger.

[@STIHLFIRE437]

Absolutely love to see this side of these guys. It happens to everyone even the great Levi Morgan. Keep up the great work everyone!

[@KnightsoftheApex]

Had this happen with an Elite once. Forgot to put the draw stop back on and had to ease it back into a press. My wife says my butt has been clenched ever since.

[@HeartlandMakesAndOutdoors]

What a great ending to what started out as a ooooppsss.. Thanks for sharing guys, I hope you all have had a blessed and wonderful season this year. I know this was last season,. Thanks for sharing and good luck everyone. Dale

[@xcmandan]

The tension (No Pun intended) was intense. Loved that you were able to film the whole thing for our entertainment. Thank you

[@piechy]

Evan yelling “Grenade!!!!” 😂😂😂😂😂

[@mm88swrt]

My first thought was lock out the cams with some arrows. But its more complicated than that with the cams being overdrawn. The footage was cinematic gold!

[@donaldvonlintig8445]

You read my mind, exactly what I was thinking, even overdrawn, I think you could get something, in a hole on the cams, close to the limb, to stop them from rolling over, when he goes to let the Bow down. I've done this before on a different Bow.

[@edgarfack858]

Ok glad everyone is ok, but for us new to bow technology can you do another video this winter about what happened, why it happened and fixes. Thanks Ed

[@BergyBowsmith]

There's no mod so it locked .

[@brianc6739]

I have an old 2001 Mathews that I still hunt with. What on earth is a mod?

[@AngelVillaG]

​@@brianc6739Hi, I think the mod is for change the DL or DW (don't remember now) in Mathews bow, in my Bear is different... Bye.

[@ViCtOrZ803]

I’ve been in that situation and Levi did the best thing possible not letting anybody else get close to it and touch that bow up. My situation ended in two broken fingers.

[@stormchasevideo]

Had this happen on a traverse I bought. I held back pressure and had the guy selling it manually roll the cams with his hands outside of the cams until it started going. Once it moved I was able let it down like normal.

[@brianbaures6409]

I wasn’t ready for this much anxiety on a Monday morning😂

[@KamakaZex313]

you can manually rotate the cams over if this ever happens have a buddy or two help rotate them while you let down

[@SnapperHeadUnlimited]

Awesome content, really enjoyed this one. MFJJ’s reaction was priceless 😂

[@SteveReese-kz3rj]

That bow at full draw gave me anxiety. Wow! You guys could have killed the best archer ever!

[@Charles-jf8nz]

It still amazes me how far Bows have come since I began shooting in the late 70s, There was no such thing as timing a Bow, or tuning,

[@michaelrosa5410]

Reminds me of the old 2 cam bows that would lock up when they were still getting figured out.

[@charleslefebvre5515]

One of my first thoughts was "could somebody at least pull Levi's sunglasses down so he some sort of protection on in case stuff goes more sideways!"

[@robburton3255]

Exactly what I was thinking! Also, they could have wedged the bow sideways between those targets in the background and let it down slowly. Also, the other guy that commented about putting tree branches in the cams was a great idea.

[@upatree10]

Mine too!

[@americanbigfoot7881]

I seen the title and thumb nail about a ticking time bomb, figured it was just another Mathews with exploding limbs 😂

[@nuckolsDG]

This is incredible! thank y'all for the laugh on a Monday morning

[@NORTHidahohntr]

This is quite possibly one of the funniest videos I've seen on your channelThis is quite possibly one of the funniest videos I've seen on your channel😂

[@ajfro99]

Had the same thing happen to me in a shop with a Hoyt alpha x33 I was testing out. Scared the crap out of me.

[@prestonweatherby314]

I had that happen with my Hoyt few weeks back my module sheered off with the cam bolt and it was stuck in full draw put in my case and took it to the bow shop to get it fixed

[@longshotdiedtired1582]

When the cams roll over it locks in where you can’t let it down lol

[@JonathanHeath-o4t]

I’ve seen a similar thing happen in a bow shop multiple times.lol Just walk it to the bow press 👍 mods on this bow were not there to control the cams so they rolled over/overdrew and locked up. Went over the mountain, into they valley and went down more until it couldn’t come back over😂

[@papaschuette]

Hey Brother. Holy crap. That had me freaked out. I'm glad nobody got hurt and the bow wasn't damaged. I lost almost half of my left thumb due to a cable press snapping as I was taking the string off to put a half twist in it to get my peep to line up. Luckily the cables didn't snap, so the bow didn't blow up. #ABT

[@dxt6]

You could of put a stick or something thru the the cams to lock the cams ?

[@ColbyDodson-j2q]

Great footage....the anxiety is real!

[@TheSouthernObsession]

Man to do that with a bow that was know to have limb issues is even scarier😂 yall took it like a champ tho! Great job Levi!

[@jasonwatson2679]

Did that on a draw board once with a bowtech that I didn’t put the lkmbstops back on. SCARRRYY

[@ScottP6972]

Wow, crazy. That was awesome. Levi just telling everyone to run, lol.

[@wraygehouse]

The only group on the internet that is laughing at a $1400 disaster

[@texasforever3.025]

This happened to me w an elite. Same thing. I put it in a press and it was ok. I was bow shopping at the time. I didn’t buy the elite.

[@RodrigoGarciactg]

Can you do a breakdown of this? I’m a beginner and would have no idea what to do. This freaked me out haha

[@josephfolsom2030]

Yikes! I was on the edge of my seat. So what was keeping the bow at full draw? Also, I think it was your last video where Josh was putting new strings on your bow, and you had a set of ABB strings in your hand, and Josh ended up stomping on them. (Maybe simulated) I have used the platinum ABB’s for years, what is the issue with them? I have not had an issue.

[@marksmt]

Pure gold

[@joshuahunt1210]

What if you stuck a couple steel bars in the cam holes so the cams couldn't rotate back?

[@willc3384]

Could they have put Allen wrenches through the cams to hold it at full draw?

[@thenameiwantedwastaken]

Ive heard horror stories of this happening. Never seen it though. Levi is the man

[@botchvinik8668]

So in the video they said they forgot to put "the mods" in and that's why the bow over cam'd and locked up. I'm assuming "mods" is another term for stops (limb/cable) ?

[@Cel5im]

The fact that your back up back up bow is a lift is just insane 😂

[@Singlebarrel2323]

My palms were sweating like crazy

[@redbeard123]

I guarantee I'll be checking them a tenth time now when working on my own 😂 that's crazy but I now now to throw and pray if I do mess up lol

[@brandonb417]

Couldn't they have put a big stick through the spokes on the cam to keep it "drawn" until they could put it on the press?

[@Prime_Operon_Outdoors]

That is what I was thinking. Stick through cam outside of cam and you could still toss it if you wanted. Or a zip tie. But stick should be available.

[@WendellAbigania]

Damn that was stressful to watch this Monday morning lol.

[@markt800]

Allen keys in the cams

[@ELKSHAPEGEAR]

That was Creazy!

[@thomasvanderhoff768]

All thease professional bow hunter KZbinrs and they could not think of taking a tree branch and putting it in the cams to act as a wedge.

[@patg2544]

@@thomasvanderhoff768 I was thinking the same thing.

[@jayonez137]

Would have to be some pretty hardwood. Most sticks are brittle and would cut right in half

[@thomasvanderhoff768]

@@jayonez137there bow hunters they know the difference between week branch compared to tough branch.

[@solocam1962]

First thing i thought! Get a hardwood branch and lock that thing up. Then throw it ... i had a bow blow up on me and it was scary. Company (Mathews) sent me new limbs and have been using same bow since 2006! Yep, same bow and it is sweet and smooth. I don't need another. Solocam Switchback XT.

[@user-ik3cg4zx6p]

100% what I was saying to myself

[@billatkinson6807]

Can't believe it didn't explode when thrown. How crazy

[@kip.k]

Think I will keep taking my bow to the shop after watching this. Those dreams of working on it myself will stay dreams!

[@bignlittleoutdoorstexascam3031]

put somthing in the cams to stop the rolling and let it go

[@huntermark1160]

put the cube in the space!!

[@spincast1974]

At video link 3 minutes 53 seconds. He says they put The Mods on the bow. How did the Mods get taken back off? When Levi Morgan pulled it back?

[@spincast1974]

I just answered my question. Levi, picked up the bow that they took the mods off of ouch...

[@caseystearns1237]

haha wow thats crazy no one got hurt or nothing really broke on the bow. Funny video!

[@Aliengearholsters]

Palms are sweaty.....

[@ThWind81]

There's vomit on my sweater already.

[@flyfin108]

string is stretched and timings off, hits high and low, cotcha. thank you

[@jamescooper2618]

You guys need to look into getting recurve bows. If you had been shooting a traditional bow, none of this would have ever happened. No dangerous situation, no broken bow, no trying to figure out why the bow is out of time, and no down time. No need for a bow press or any replacement parts. Twice, I have had the string on my recurve bow get damaged on a hunt to where it was unshootable. I took off my daypack, pulled out the bow stringer and spare string, and 5 minutes later, was back on the hunt. Seriously. Compounds are too expensive to be that fragile and that dangerous.

[@Joshua-1986]

I had a phase 4 they are good bows and all that but it cost like 3000 to get all Mathew’s crap for it and the grip angle is wrong for me I went to Hoyt and that’s all I’ll get from now on

[@Anton-Grim]

What mathews bow do you use for TAC ??? 29.5 33

[@upatree10]

I wouldn’t want to be the one that took out the World’s Greatest Archer! 😳 😂. Levi handled that like the pro that he is!

[@LancePostma-ry9mc]

rATCHET sTRAPS!!! My shop is only an hour.5 away from your UT elk camp, and I could've been there quick to fix it up without the drama. But, then you wouldn't have had a story.

Could anything have been done using the SAS cable?

[@USMC-1911]

Matthews dont come out of time remember i worked at a good size archery shop for 12 years they all com out of time , what was nice about hoyt 99 percent of the time about 2 turns in your control cam 5 minutes .

[@davidhenderson1738]

Hey guys not a brilliant man by no stretch and this is a legitimate question, but could you just put something in the cam closest to the limb to hold tension then release pressure and then work strings and cables?

[@Spinalcell]

Dedication!!!

How did he hold it back so long dang

I understand it ended up with a happy ending but could have been a different outcome. How do you forget to put mods back on a bow? It’s great that everyone had a positive attitude about the situation but they should have addressed the seriousness of the situation as well.

I guess even the pros make mistakes!! LOL glad no one got seriously hurt

Ratchet strap hook to each cam and tighten

[@mikemellon80]

couldnt you just put a stick in the cam so it cant rotate? thats what I'd do.

[@CryptoHuntinDad]

Reason 101not to buy a mathews. Its 2024 and they still use mods that ost 125.00 each! LOL... Why Mathews, the American people desire better from you! Bowtech and Darton are trying to make it where you never need a press and heres hoyt and mathews take it in for everything and buy mods!! JOKE REALLY

[@jackshelden]

@@CryptoHuntinDad you’re full of crap. Direct from Mathews they are $60. Go to your local shop and 9/10 times they just swap mods for you at no cost.

[@jimr7154]

This was great Holy crap I was is it going to blow up !! 😮

I might have missed it, but was this a Lift thry took the mods off? I thought the mods on a Lift were different than the previous itterations and could not be swapped.
