Just thought i'd throw this in - lesson - don't draw your bow with a release unless you have an arrow nocked, then you don't have to ever worry abouta messed up bow. As mentioned earlier, don't let someone draw your bow who doesnt shoot, especially if your shooting 72lbs at 80% l.o.

Rule #1, NO ONE draws my bow but me. Way too much time and money invested for someone else to break it. If anyoneI am with wants to try archery or shoot a bow they can use my old perfectly good still setup compound. If that is not good enough they can buy one.

If it broke the stabilizer, there is a good chance that enough negative force was produced to do damage to the limbs. I would have your brother purchase new limbs for the bow at a BARE MINIMUM.

This is something that could come back and hurt you later on. Why take any chances?

That's why they put Ty-wraps or locks on strings and cables in a lot of bow shops . It avoids "Dry Fire" damage ......... Your brother owes it to you to make good with the bow , but then , that's up to you .
