Hey boys and girls-
Wanted to share a few questions I've been getting from some of you. Hope everyone is getting sighted in and ready for opening day.

I'm curious to know what the effects of a dry fire are?

My response:
There are several things that can happen in the results of a dry fire. The bow stores so much energy that when the bow is not fired there is no resistance and the energy rocks the bow hard. Strings may break, limbs crack, axles bend, the bow derails. Today's bows may can handle an accidental dry fire once or twice, but as a rule you should avoid it.

Greg, also from Michigan, wrote:
T-Bone, for youth bows, what is the lowest draw weight you recommend for lethal penetration?

My response:
Well, some states don't have a minimum weight, however for moral and ethical reasons we like to recommend at least 35 pounds.

Thanks for sending the questions. And, more importantly, thanks for shooting a bow. Archery is truly a passion that many of us can share and talk about.

Keep shootin'
T-Bone
