The only thing I noticed the my string stoppers were pushed back a little bit. I loosened the bolts, put them back to the original position and tightened everything back. I havent fired it since. This is my first crossbow, I had multiple bows before, but idk if this means that the xbow is fine. It's an EK Archery Blade+. Is there anything I missed?
Take your crossbow to a manufacturer's rep. You don't know if you damaged it and it if lets go you could loose an eye or worse. It isn't worth taking a chance to continue to shoot it, in fact , you took a foolosh chance shooting it after it dry fired on you. Something is obvious wrong with the crossbow or it wouldn't have dry fired to begin with. It is your life, but I would not shoot that thing again.
