Dry firing a bow can damage the bow and hurt you. If you already dry fired it, and you are asking this question, then the string probably did not break and it did not do some serious damage to your arm or body. Now, the bow may have been damages, so i would inspect it thoroughly. A bow should not be dry fired, it is too much force for the bow to take, and the string can break.

Have a professional take a look at it. It might not look bad but once you draw it limbs could snap or your cam could be bent and cause a cam derailment.

Why is the violin's bow bigger than the basses bow?

It isn't. A violin bow is longer than a bass bow, although the bass bow has is much wider with a thicker wooden shaft, and is thus two or three times heavier. Violin bows are longer because the higher in pitch a string is, the faster bow you need. Basses have very thick strings, so they don't need to move their bows very fast, and don't need as long a bow. Besides, if it were as long as a violin bow, it would be too heavy for most people to play!
