"Dry Fire"

Do you have to buy a set of limbs if only one limb is damaged?

Going out on a limb here and guessing you have a takedown bow and you dry fired it and either the upper or lower limb delaminated, correct? If so, it would be in your best interest to buy a new set of limbs seeing as you have no idea what is going on inside the “good” one. If the shock was enough to have you looking for new, Why chance it to save a buck (money AND deer)?

At least an honest post......If I've seen one post where somebody's "friend" dry fired the bow.....I've seen a hundred. I believe you should replace both limbs if in fact one is damaged. You will have tuning issues with limbs that are significantly mismatched. My experience is that most times your "friend" dry fires your bow it doesn't usually result in permanent damage.
