Default Dry Fire at Jays, LOL!

A friend went with me up to Jays Sporting Goods the other day. I was looking a some new bow gear, because prices are way down.

My friend, decides to pick up the new $1000 Hoyt bow. He was standing right next to me and pulled it back. Knowing my friend, he isn't the brightest crayon in box, only used two fingers. He almost got to full draw and the string slipped. Pieces flew every where. The guy from the counter immediatley comes around and says, what was that? A guy in the back room heard it and knew exactly what it was. So he comesfrom the back roomand takes the bow back to hcek everything. After the outcome of what happenedgood thing it wasn't me!

LOL, bet my friend will learn to be more careful!

I saw the same thing happen a few years ago at D.i.c.k.s Sporting Goods. A young kid (teenager) was in there and picked up a Martin bow and dry fired it. But in this case, the ignorant sales clerk didn't seem to care! [&:]
