As Excalibur crossbows evolved, they shrank in size and increased in power.
Corresponding to that, what might have been a simple issue with the lesser powered wide limb bows, a dry fire in one of these compact modern ones can have a very real catastrophic effect on both the bow and the shooter. The ADF was designed to address and prevent that from occurring, and very much does operate as advertised.
As CNP noted, there is really nothing to unloading the bow with it in place.
I personally will not have another bow without the ADF.
