So, i'm out having a short practice session this evening to dial in broad heads on my new diamond (edge) . Things are going along fine; making good groups, an owl parked in the tree above to watch, good weather, peaceful wooded area; I bring up the bow for another shot and WHAM - my draw hand smacks me right in the mouth, ouch, what happened I think - did my finger hit the trigger accidentally? I gather my composure and look around; arrow is at my feet, nock is still on the string and my mouth stings a little (I've got the limbs screwed all the way down to a 70lb draw). A little more inspection reveals that my d-loop gave out on me (cabelas brand caliper release; which does have square-ish edges top and bottom of the calipers rather than rounded - must have worn out the string quickly - though I have shot quite a bit since I got it late this spring, but lesson learned - check my d-loop more frequently!).
Anyways, with the arrow at my feet and nock still on the string (cheap allen brand carbon arrow), did that qualify as a dry fire? I suspect I didn't even get it half drawn, certainly didn't get the cam rolled over. There is a string stop on that bow with a good rubber pad, but should I be concerned, take it to the shop and have it checked out? I did finger draw it once I got back to the house and got some safety gear on, no noises, draw felt normal, peep wasn't out of position, nothing I could see wrong, but then again I don't have a trained eye for that sort of thing...
