i would NEVER dry fire maybe...i know that it could result in bending of the limbs... and all sorts of problems, but i think im just getting jumpy and my arm gets in the way.

I really wanted to try shooting that dual cam version of the Hornet but the shop owner ordered only one and it was in his draw lenght.. 27 inches is a bit short for this camper, might have to give it a shot one day but will wait a while... I will get around to shooting it some day... Real short ATA bow.

OOOOUUUUUUUCCHHH!!! THAT MUST HURT, BUT THE BOW LOOKS PRETTY NICE. JUST DON'T EXTEND YOUR ARM THAT MUCH!
TAKE CARE, CONGRATS ON THE BOW!

oh my gosh. i guess now you know why the arrows go so fast. that is the worst hit i've ever seen.

ouch no thanks.

Break your elbow just a bit and you will never have that problem again.

Ouch! Get an arm guard, try opening your stance to somewhere between 45 and 90 degrees instead of 90 (face into the target a little instead of perpindicular to it) and really make sure someone knowledgeable checks your draw length. You may think your form is right on, but if you are drawing too long string slap will most likely be the result. Good luck!

If I was you, I would get rid of that piece of Parker!!! Burn it, throw it in the trash... Wait, I have a better idea ship it to me, and I'll get rid of it for you...

Your lucky, I've seen the skin ripped completely away... like everyone one said, make sure you draw is right, and bend at the elbow just slightly, that will keep this from happening... Good luck... Oh that dummy I saw mess his arm up, was me... it hurts...

That's from hitting it one time?

What do I think? Very cool bow...for sure and it hurts me just seeing that picture!
