Good to know. I do dry fire to store guns but always felt a little concern.

Dry fire away won't hurt anything, but do not dry fire a bow not good.

Watched a guy dry fire a bow in bass pro the other day. Trying to look cool, he looked it over, looked around to see if anyone saw and put it back on the rack.

Should never dry fire a bow or crossbow, can bust them.

Dry firing bow is dangerous to the user and detrimental to the eqmt.
Saw a guy dry fire a bow at Academy 10 years ago...strings snapped. Bows need arrows/bolts for energy transfer.
