A buddy dry fired my Reezen 6.5 last year right at the end of the season and never had a chance to get it looked at or shoot it again. Before I grab it and start my preseason shooting, has anyone had any problems out of their bow after a dry fire or out a Reezen at all?
I would get it checked out before I even think about pulling it back. Some limb cracks are very hard to see and it could cause a serious injury if you're unlucky.
More so that you don't end up in the hospital having stitches. You never know what could be wrong with it. Have it checked play it safe Hutch
You can look it over real good and close but if not comfortable have shop look. Look for cam lean, small hair line cracks or anything that might be bent. Make sure the strings and cables are on the right tracks. Good luck
a buddy dry fired my DXT about 4 years ago the weekend before the season started. Missed the first 2 weekends waitin on a new cam to come in. It messed it up pretty good. I had to resset my pins and everything. I would definetly get it looked at before shooting it some more. Cound have messed all sorts of things up that you cant see.
NEVER let anyone touch my bow anymore. And if they do, I tell them right away to not draw it. If they want to draw it, then they can knock an arrow and shoot the bow. My dad dry fired my Hoyt 2 years ago and its like everything on it blew up. Screws came lose, peep was moved, rubber tubing came off, Timing was all messed up. If their is no arrow to transfer the energy too, then all that energy is expelled right back into the bow itself. I would definitely get the bow checked out and check those limbs with a magnifying glass. You can get seriously hurt if you get to full draw and the thing decides to blow up in your face. Hope it turns out fine for ya.
I know a guy that dry fired his CST and had it checked out and nothing was wrong with it. Shot fine and had no issues to date
Like others have stated here I would DEF take it in to be looked at, but look it over in the mean time...run a cotton ball over the limbs to see if it gets snagged up on any small hairline cracks also. A good shop should be able to tell you if you're good or not but I wouldn't draw that bow until absolutely knowing it wasn't going to blow up in my face...be safe and good luck!
About the only way to get it checked safely without having to go expensive with NDE is the put it on a draw board and see how the cams/wheels track through the draw cycle. The next step would be to see how it shoots, preferably from a distance with something like a Hooter Shooter.
