Get around a bunch of people and it will happen this is as true as it gets. Its real easy to get caught up in the moment when everyones having a good time. One of my dryfires came when I was testing some of the BEE arrows for accuracy and speed using my Chrono I guess I was worried more about the speed and accuracy than loading an arrow in the Excal. I thought it would never happen to me as most people would think but I was sure wrong when it did.

I see videos where people dry fire older versions of Excalibur bows but I wonder if the new models may have enough energy into smaller limbs resulting in the need to be prudent with an ADF. If so, I'll probably move that up on the list of options I put on there.

The 380 has it but I'm not sure if that is because it is their top of the line model or if it is really needed to protect the bow. Any and all input is appreciated.
My old bow didn't have it and my 380 does. There's nothing to using it and it's added protection. Don't hesitate getting it. Better to err on the side of caution...and I guarantee no one who has dry fired there xbow thought it could happen to them and they probably had a system in place. Jmho.
