curiosity killed the cat, luckily I'm not a cat.

Shot the bow. I took it to a "pro shop" and he just looked at it and said it was fine. Kinda ticked me off, but oh well. It was almost like he refused to look at it.

Anyway, I took it home, took the strings off and worked on the cam for a little while. I couldn't stand looking at the bow just laying there, I mean come on, it was meant to be shot, and shot it would be.

I served the peep back in, lined stuff up where it would be pretty well in tune, tied on my loop and headed out to the yard (with some buddies who all wore an incredulous face, I think deep down they hoped it would blow up because they werevideoing it, lol).

I drew back and shot it, I missed horribly, but more importantly, the bow didn't blow up.

I probably shot it about 20 times, and never noticed anything wrong (no sounds coming from the limbs, no excess vibration or rattling or anything).

So, I guess the question now is, is it safe to keep shooting? IF it was cracked or messed up, something bad probably woulda happened by now, right?
