I had mine dry fire part way back it slipped and the string jumped off the cam . I did this just before heading out in the morning to go hunting. Luckily i brought it to the shop he put a new string on because the other got chaffed and after a quick sight in i was back out hunting in the afternoon.Boy was i thankful i thought I'd be out of business for a while .

I dry fired my Martin Panther a few months after I bought it. Scared the carp out of me. It looked like the bow was fine, but after dry fireing it I didn't exactly trust it. So I took it to the proshop where I bought it and had them look it over. The bow was fine and I can still shoot and hunt with it. Accidents can and do happen. Nocking a arrow every time you draw is very cheap insurance.

I was at Bass Pro one day standing next to a guy who was looking at bows. He was drawing one backwhen he accidently released it, at full draw. It scared the hell out of me. It sounded like a rifle going off. Needless to say the salesmen were pretty pissed off. In some places if you dry fire a bow, you buy it.

That happened at are proshop here.A guy dry fireda bow, scared the crap out of everyone except the owner. He was cutting arrows and never heard him. After he was done cutting the arrows the guy came up to him and asked what if someone dry fires a bow, he said you will end up buying it, the guy walked out of the store. I guess it didn't help that the owner is kinda on the old side with hearing aids.
