Default I am an idiot

I got my 160lb Exocet back from a friend that had used it for about2 years (he took a few nice deer with it).I had been trying out vertical archery but he bought himself an Exomag so I took mine back.
I was sighting it in thinking I would use it early season untill I get my compound tuned up with the new rest, took a few shots, got distracted by a friend right after cocking, then "whack", dry fired it!
The limbs look OK but the bead of glue holding the one limb tip on has cracked (I'm praying its just the glue). I have drawn and fired it since and all seems well.
Have any of you recurve shooters ever actually broken something with a dry fire? If I did do damage where on the limb would be the most likely place for the problems to show themselves?
