back about 17 yrs ago me and my uncle were at a roses dept. store and he picked up an indian bow and a release,(we had never seen a release before)and drew back, needless to say what happened.we pretty much ran out of the store........i was in bass pro shops in nashville back in aug. and some guy in there dry-fired a Fred Bear epic extreme and one of the staff walked over and snatched it away from him...if you ever want to be the center of attention,walk into a pro-shop and dry-fire a bow
