I'm confused now.

You state that Border have tested their limbs by pulling the string so far that it has come off. And then done it again. Have they repeated it until the limb breaks? How many times did they do that test? I was told yesterday that in days gone by, a bow was set up in the Border workshop and everyone who walked by was encouraged if not required to "dry fire" it, which they did thousands of times.

In my six years of ownership, I can only recollect that one occasion when my string has come off, and then 9 months later the limb breaks. I must have unlucky written through me like a stick of rock
