Default I am so sick I wanna puke, dry fired my Hoyt

Got a nice pre spring day, so me and neighbor hit the local 3D range. Anyhow, we get to the final target, a boar over frozen water. Buddy said 20 yards. I said you will be hit way low as the ice sheet is throwing off you perception. Sure enough he hit the stomach. I said now watch this 30 yard shot. Draw and release to the worst noise ever!!! STUPID STUPID STUPID!!!! Took it into shop owner to look over. Limbs appear okay. Cam clips were still attached. One string leech was partially dislodged. He said it looks fine. It drew fine. Shoot 1/2 dozen arrows. OK.

But I am still leary. Anything I should be looking for in the future??? Hoyt claims their risers and limbs are engineered to withstand 1000 dryfires at 80lbs draw. Hype? I don't know. Not looking to get chastised for the DF. I am already sick over it. But looking for info on how to proceed with my bow from here on out.

Thanks TW
