Sounds so familiar.....I had the same thing happen to me. Somehow, the stick-twig monster jumped up from the ground and pulled one of my QC's off. I was in the middle of using it in the field/tree line. Happened at the time of day when my dealer was open....so I called him. Man....I felt stupid after I checked the QC's under the deck......just a good reminder that we all start at the beginning in everything we do in life. Hope that is all that it was......and if so, that it was a "free" fix!!!
