Compounds need ADF's more than recurves. Among other things, lol.

Make very certain to look closely for hair line cracks down the road. While it may have 100% survived the dry-fire (and I hope it truly has), the limbs might have been weakened enough to cause problems down the road. I had this occur on a high end compound. Kid dry fired it messing around with it seeing if he could pull 80# to a full draw. He got it there, but it was a 65% let-off and he simply fatigued and let it go ! Took I guess about 200 shots for problems to show up. Both limbs split almost exactly along the same line.
