RE: dryfire sucks
I'm too embarassed to tell about all of my dry fires, lol. I put a piece of tape on inside of limbs that says "Arrow Dummy?" I once launched a string off of Emax took two days to find in my shop. I've managed several outta my Phoenix w/ no ill effects until the last time when I splintered a limb. Excal warrantied two new limbs via Miller, and he replaced my bars and sent it all back assembled, torqued and ready to go. You wouldn't need a cotton ball to see my splinter, it was the size of a tooth pick. Any fff string will be the least forgiving on a dry fire, go and sin no more, lol.
