Absolutely, dry firing damages more than just limbs; it’s a safety risk too. Always worth reminding, thanks for pointing it out.

Saw too many snapped limbs from ppl ignoring this.

Gotta keep things accurate.

The tiller explanation is spot on, helps with understanding bow balance. Good stuff, Paul.

The precision and skill required are on a whole other level.
