well it was actually about a 1/2 dry fire. I got it to full draw, and was letting it off when it released. Its a pretty new bow. Its a Martin Tracer LT. Its no more then 2-3 years old. I havent shot it. yet, but honestly dont think it hurt anything. I'll shoot it and get it checked before this weekend. I swear, i might as well have wrecked my damn car. i'd probably feel the same way i felt when it released. I know drawing it without an arrow nocked was stupid, but on a brighter note, if an arrow was nocked, I'd be explaining a hole in my wife's wall. [8D]Thanks for all your replies on this matter.
