Just keep an eye on the string where it wraps around that bad spot on the cam. If you smoothed it out good, it'll be fine. I would recommend getting some sandpaper and smoothing out the scraped spots on the limbs. Rough spots like that are excellent places for cracks and splinters to form. Smooth them out and it won't be as easy for them to turn into weak spots that could threaten the limbs. Take a q-tip and some matching paint to seal and touch up the sanded areas and make it purty again.

I'd pay attention for about the next 200 shots after you do all the repairs, listening for cracks and pops. And if the bow suddenly starts shooting way low or way high, stop shooting and start looking the bow over. If that happens, you've probably got a limb coming apart.
