I'm a noob to crossbow's. But I've decided that I won't dry fire my crossbow! LMAO

I just posted this statement so you all can remind me of it when I do complain that I dry fired my crossbow.

[FireFly]

I no more than made the above statement 2 days ago and Dry Fired my crossbow today. That's a sound that doesn't sound pleasant. Luckily, I have the factory string for the Axiom SMF and S5's so I didn't do any damage. I checked the bow over thoroughly. I did cause my scope to shift about 2" lower and had to rezero it, but no big deal.

The worst part about a dry-fire is looking for your arrow! The second worst part, not that it happens to the smaller poundage bows all the time, is looking for your string!

I'm thinken that dry fire is why I have two new limbs three new strings and an anti dry fire on my 330. Yup I've been talking to myself and just kind of hang my head when somebody mentions dry fires.
