I can't see the video for some reason, probably my PC, but I've seen Marketing dude do it at a show. If I remember right, they were trying to figure out a way how someone may hurt themselves accidentally doing it. That was the last I heard of it being done.

Come to think of it, it's the last time I heard from Marketting dude too.

I cant see it either. I saw it on 3 different post now and cant play it. My windows media player says it does not recognize the format.

I've been using that method since I saw it here a few days ago. I think its great, but I still believe the guys that shoot there spare arrows into the ground are doing it the safest. I just can't find any dirt here in the Missouri Ozarks. Leaving again in the morning for some Fall Turkey hunting. Please be carefull and take care. Tom

If you folks hang onto your butts we will have this up on the website along with the whole set of updated instructional videos as soon as the guy who hosts them gets going (he's had em a month now). The rope uncocker is a great option and much easier but you've got to do it right or the rope cocker could become a projectile very quickly!

! This time of year keeps us running around here making enough crossbows for all you guys

! This morning was the first chance I've had to get out hunting!!!!! Nice morning but nothing in shooting range. Guess I gotta start get serious and fill this tag in my pocket!

The video should be up on our website soon along with a bunch of other cool additons, stay tuned!

I'm concerned about what the long term effects on the trigger claw/mechanisms and string's center serving may be from using this method.

My thoughts exactly!...
