like I said, the biggest issue here is, damages that can have happened cannot be seen by looking at it
they will be issues in the limbs and or cables that the human EYE cannot see
this is why again, its a hard call on what to do here, as there is now risks that you cannot see to make a decision on, based on visual damage!

the risks can be a limb coming apart on you from damages again the human eye cannot see

think of it like a hail line fracture in a bone, your can NOT see it by looking at it or even feeling things
but once you start adding stress to the area, it will MAYBE break or fail on you causing a much larger issue!

I am NOT saying your llimbs or"X" have any damage, just saying they very well can from that ONE dry fire
it doesn't take a a lot to have something break!
the amount of stress \placed on the limbs, string and cables is VERY high, and then add in NOT like a vertical bow, where you draw and replace in typical a few seconds
a X bow will have that added stress added to its limb's for long periods of time, thus any weak spot will have more to endure and or cause a failure from the extended load/stress on it!

and again when they do let got, they do so in an explosive way!

so again, make sure you talk to OEM and see what they say before continuing to shoot it, and even sitting AS IS< can be a small worry as there is again stress on X bows even when NOT fully cocked!
