QS, I used to be an Oregon dealer. They dry fired their bows umpteen gillion times. Did I ever have one Blow up? You bet!! Where are they today? I was also an HC dealer and saw 3 times the limb failures on HC than I did on Oregons...................

O wait a minute! That could be because I sold 10 times the HC bows. You keep beating on concrete with a sledge hammer and it Will Break

Enjoy!![8D]
