Default Dry Fire Question

So it happened, what should I expect??? Do I need to look into replacing my bow? I shot it afterwards and it seems ok. Anyone with experience on this? Any info would be appreciated.

I wouldn't shoot it anymore till I had either a quality pro-shop or the manufacturer have a good look at it. Or even just call the manufacturer and have them direct you.

i did it. didn't show up for a month or so, but my bottom limb was cracked. keep a real eye on your limbs. worst case you've got to get new limbs. if a crack shows up hopefully your bow is under warranty and you'll get them free. i've never been asked any questions when having warranty work done.

Bob-co is right. Have your proshop check it out. The thoughts of a limb letting go are not comforting.
