If I read this correctly ,you said the technician Dry Fired this bow and then said he'd sell it to him with 15% discount because he didn't have a string for it ,not to mention that he dry fired it and there could be internal damages. This is exactly why people should go to a pro shop before they look anywhere for a new bow total inexperience .It's quite obvious that the guy that worked for the store hadn't a clue to what damage he had or could have actually caused to this bow, and 15% because it had no string GREAT now what does anyone do with a bow with no Freaking string .I sure hope you straightened the buyer out or convinced him that this would be a very bad buy for him . This is like the blind leading the blind in this case .If this person was to buy this bow and put a new string on it and still the bow wasn't working right and he had to send it back ,They wouldn't cover his warranty because they would know that it was a dry fire and they're not considered a manufacturer defect. I'm sure he could raise enough hell about it and get it fixxed at a lesser rate, but not without getting a serious migrane to go with it .
I hope you were able to reach this guy and make him understand that this would be a big big mistake for him to buy that bow at any discount. Glad you stepped up to the plate when you seen this happen .

I need to add this as well not all pro shop staff member's have any clue either .I was at a shop in the last weekend with Terry M. The kid behind the counter was talking to me about the BowTech Allegiance and he said that he wouldn't have one coming in my size, unless I ordered it ,but he would have one at 28" .I said to him that my draw is 28" and he began to tell me how I couldn't possibly be that length . I got the drift, and walked away from him. I've been shooting at 28" ever since I started, and his boss was the one that measured me in the first place .
I wasn't about to stand and argue with this kid ,he never took a measurement, but he was able to tell me that I should be a 27" draw exactly, just by looking at me .I explained to him that I needed another 1/2 "on my 28" draw and he said well you look like a 27" to me . I'm just glad that he's so experienced that he could tell my draw without taking a measurement. Now can you see if a guy looking at bow's that doesn't know better ,how he could fall into making a bad decision .
So even in the pro shop's their help can be inexperienced as well ,so it help's for you to have someone who know's about bow's before you go to either a pro shop or a BassPro . We take it for grantite that these people in the shop's know what they're doing. Most experienced bowhunter's and archer's can pick these guy's out ,but new bowhunter's and archer's need to have experienced help with them when they go shopping ,or at least know exactly what their measurement's are before they go.
