So i just bought a new to me 2015 Hoyt Nitrum and Not even a day later, A buddy tried to pull it back without permission and Dry Fired it.
So the string came off the came and now im super paranoid and want to get it looked over. Any recommendations for where to take it to get looked over.
just got the bow and now i cant even shoot it... "So Bummed"
Leason learned to let friends touch Bow

Honest mistakes happen, but there would be a conversation about correcting any damage if it were me.

Well, the good part is it's a Hoyt. Not much goes wrong with Hoyt limbs. But dry fires do tend to break the sealed bearings and/or the cable guard. Might be worth a trip to Enumclaw and have Denton check it out. Be sure to tell your buddy he's paying for the gas!

Bummer. Lesson - don't ever let anyone handle your tools unless you know they're experienced, and or you've gone over the rules.
This covers all from screwdrivers to bows.
It's like watching someone pick up a firearm and not checking the chamber.
Hope all is well with your bow.

The Nock Point in Mountlake Terrace is a good Hoyt dealer
-
Get it checked out, consider it a learning tax, and get to shooting it!

Yea i Ran it over to Nock Point. Sounds like there was no Major Damage but the string took a good beatN, So ill be gettN the ol'Girl back with some new Threads. Totally worth the crazy 2hr Ferry traffic. HOPEFULLY ill be back to SlingN arrow by the end of the Week.

Dang that sucks! Glad that's all the damage that was done. Did the friend offer to help pay for the damages?
-
Help pay? He should pay for all of it. And gas/ferry money, too.
-
On the good side. You got time to get it. Checked and repaired before bow season.
Could have been the day before.
-
Yea he's offered to pay for the costs. And yea im glad cause ive heard of some the horror stories on some of the repair times on some of these issues. Not looking forward to that travel again but at least ill have my bow back. And ps isl if I mentioned this but i owned the bow all of 12hrs before this ordeal happend. This was my first up grade from my Bear Lights out.
-
Same thing happened to me a few years back with my pse dream season with omen cams. Hadn't even shot it. It wasn't a pretty sight. I ended up getting new limbs cams and strings.
-
Did you even get a chance to shoot it first before this? Yikes
-
Yea by the time i got it all setup and back from the shop. I had a sliver of day light and got off bout 20 arrows or so and what A bow compared to my previous. Was way too stoked just to be shot down a hr or 2 later. But hopefully ill get the call today or tomorrow to go pick it up.
