Brilliant. :D For those who need to shoot an arrow to let down the string.
I wonder how accurate they are, minute of feral cat?
Biodegradable kinda sounds like an explosion on the rail to me, but at a little over a buck a piece, I would try some.

I am so glad that I have an Excal and don't have to worry about that crap.

Would be great for me. I have a tenpoint and excalibur crossbow and with both its easier for me to just shoot an arrow to discharge the bow. I also hunt swamp country and on occasion an arrow will end up five feet in the muck sticking in the clay below. How you say, GONE! :oops: I would use it for both bows. Thanks for the tip. :D

For some it may be a good thing. But for me, $5.37 a piece after it is delivered, I will use my rope cocker to release the string. Thank you Excalibur.

Why not just carry an old arrow and recover it every time?

If they made them out of salt, then I could see sticking a few of those in the ground under my stand. 8)

First year I hunted with my PSE xbow, I carried a target in the back of my car and shot an arrow w/target point into it, to discharge the bow. I use the rope cocking aid with my Excal. :D
