No. Two years old….where did it break? I’m guessing under your d loop or at the cam.

“Let go” like it broke or it derailed?

Not while shooting at a deer, but I have had a string blow right under the nock at full draw, and another time one bundle let go in a 2-bundle Flemish Twist string…. It was unpleasant. Not nearly as startling as the complete failure….
Back in September, I (fortunately!!) noticed that I had lost a bundle due to BH contact and saved myself the drama.
A string is one of the weakest links in the system. I no longer ignore mine…

Broke I’ll definitely be more attentive in the future as to the condition of the string

If I was a betting man, I’d bet that you nicked it with a broadhead by mistake while taking an arrow out of or putting one back in your quiver.

You have a pic of the string?

I’m gonna agree with the broadhead nick being the most likely cause…. I had on fail right at the nocking point, where I couldn’t appreciate how worn the string was, and the other appears to be due to a sharp spot in a string groove which was able to chew through the string under that high tension. The 3rd one, which I detected “early” was a clean cut… and the reason I am looking for a new type of quiver for broadhead applications….
