Dry Fire
Yes I done it. Broke the strings, put another string on shot it, same thing happen it was just like I dry fired it with an arrow the string came off. when you dry fire an xomax does it bend the pads an you have to get more pads or can you fix the ones thats on the bow. Is that the reason the string came off. SOME BODY PLEASE HELP.......... Johnny Thanks....

RE: Dry Fire
Johhny: As a survivor of many dry fires and a loser to one, lol, your post does not compute w/ my experiences. 1st off, one dry fire should not affect the 2nd string. I once "lost" a string for 3 days in a one car garage/shop off of my Emax. The replacement worked just fine. Are you sure you didn't do the nasty twice in a row?
Danny is out of the country til Fri night [09/07]. Pack up both limbs, riser and diss bars and send them to him. Call him Sat am.
If you didn't trash a limb [check w/ cotton ball like a wipe] then you can solve your own problem[s] by checking dissapator bars w/ a straight edge. If they are bent, put them in a vise and bend them straight. All will be well.
Look at your limb tips closely, some times dry fires "chip" the molded limb tips which could account for 2nd trashed string. Please let us know how you make out.
