Hehehe join the club. Its the club of seconds I don't belong to and don't want that "L" on my forehead. Luck for you it's an Excal! See you aren't as dumb as you feel, you bought a bow that puts up with bullsh_t! (sorry guys I'm not dissing your other bows). Do yourself a favour and do as I didn't...send the limbs in or contact Excal or an Excal rep and ask them what to do. And ahh yeah, clean your pants! I don't think there's a louder wake up call than a crossbow being dry fired! Still funny! First thing I did after staring at the my bow as to say "what am I, STUPID????" I acutall heard a small voice in the amazing silence that ensues a dry fire....yup it said YES!
