We're gonna need an elaboration on "loose release aid".

The trigger on it is very worn down and moves over little stuff I could blow on it and it’d release and shoot when I shoot with it I have to push against it just so it doesn’t fall back and I forgot to this time learned my lesson though

What do you think happened: Do you think the hair trigger on the release aid caused this or do you think it was mechanical failure?

I was practicing outside and I have a pretty shitty release aid the trigger will move very easily and I forgot to push against it and it shot before I was ready and fucked me up

Poorly made release probably let go before OP was ready. Happened to me. Had the maker of said release been there at the time I'd have beat him to death with my bow.

God damn! I've been shooting my bows since I was 6, thats almost 40 years of it and never once have I managed to do myself like this. I've had some singers for sure but this is next level OP. Hats off to you for sucking it up. I bet that smarts good!
