I live over in Western Kentucky. Closest towns Murray and Paducha. I live over in the sticks a few miles off Kentucky Lake.

I don't think the cocking aid gives you any "gear reduction" except for evenly splitting the draw load .
Sorry, it does. It cut's the effort in half..........
yep. I was thinking about that as I typed. If the handle moves 2" and the string only moves 1".....then there must be a 2:1 reduction. Also....I was thinking that it really doesn't feel like I am pulling 100 pounds with each hand on my Exocet.....

So....maybe I CAN get a 405 Mega......right after I win the lottery.....(though I guess if I win the lottery, I can afford the crankaroo.....)

Ronnie: enjoy the bow. Give us a full report after you've shot it a few times...

Oh yea. Knight and hale are well known. Good guys and great hunters. The fishing is great in the lakes. I fish kentucky lake more than Barkley just bc it's just right down the road, couple mins. Prob hit Barkley hard too this year though. I got me a elite 7 fish finder to help find spots. Barkley is pretty dangerous ounces you get out of the river channel. Had a good friend drown over there in a boat accident with my brother. I was parting and decided not to go with them. Been years back. No parting anymore. But looking forward to fish Barkley more this year. Great bass fishing

It seems only a small percentage of us have had problems with the tac zone. I've gone through two tac scopes since November but many say they love them. Nonetheless, the crossbones is a superior scope. Since putting on my leupold I've been problem free.
