Dry firing can destroy a bow.
You'd be best off getting a shop to go over it for other damage. Pulleys, wheels, limbs and riser. |

What FB said, get that bow checked out and always make sure you have an arrow knocked when you release. |

| I have heard alot of stories about how serious dry firing your bow can be and it will be checked over by the pro shop I go to. As far as I can tell everything is alright. I have already promised myself I will never draw it back without an arrow in it again. :](*,) :](*,) :](*,) |
