    Default I'm an idiot

    So, I received my 09 XLR. I love everything about it. I was setting it up tonight and had it in and out of my EZ Press, Putting it on the scale, draw board and drawing it back (with an arrow of coarse). I finally had everything where I wanted it and I needed to take a half twist out of the string to line my peep. I took it out of the press, put an arrow in it and drew it back. Thats right, the last draw before bed and I forgot to put the draw stops back in. I immediately put it in the press and got the strings and cables put back on. Can this cause any problems?

    As long as it didn't dry fire you should be ok.

    Been there done that, did it to my GT500. I now take one of the draw stops and tape it to the grip just as a reminder.

    Default Don't guess I understand

    What happens when you draw it back without a draw stop?

    Potentialy you can lock up the cams while at full draw to where they do not want to move. Not a good idea to do that.
