[6.5 shooter]

I had an old Prairie Fire bow and like your friend, I drew the bow and had a total wreck. On inspection I discovered that I had set the bow down in some mud and it had hardened into the little valley on the cam and derailed the string when I drew back the bow. It also took a small chip out of the cam. Being poor and not to bright I shoot that bow like that for many years. Don't be that guy.. lol

Todays bows are much better built still I would have the bow inspected by a qualified bow shop EG: Jim Bows, Calgary Archery etc. and hope you have no major issues.
