Re: rope cocker

I put my hooks under,with the open side up when I cock the bow. Once its cocked if you just let the tension off you pretty much have the rope cocker off as well.I dont think it matters tho, what ever floats your boat.

Re: Trigger question

I wouldn't post pics or a vid. Sooner or later, some nimrod will take a dremel to one, remove too much metal, sell the bow, and bad things will happen. Probably the reason Excal tells you to open a trigger box voids the warranty. Pyd, the trigger 'stem' being discussed is the actual trigger itself,...

Re: Arrow weight for a Equinox

A field point target is easy to remove arrows from,and when you get to shooting broadheads a "Danny Miller" plier type arrow puller is highly recommended.They will pull your arrowws from the broadhead targets easily and not damage your arrow or fletching.
