C2 or Crankaroo?

Post by paulaboutform »

Had an old Vixen or Vixen II stock I matched up with an Exomax rail. Awesome bow but it's gone to my uncle's friend who has a heart condition and is only about 5'6". He's able to cock the bow and I'm sure it'll get easier with a little practice and better form. I don't want him to hurt himself overdoing it and was wondering if you needed the older style crankaroo or if the new style C2 crank would work?

Thanks, Paul

Never seen the C2 but if your stock is the composite brown stock or the Vixen 2's stock the crankaroo fits and works perfect for that stock.The stock in Blaynes thread is 06 era to date.If yours looks like it you will be fine with the crankaroo. Mark

Paul, if your Blackomax sports the Vixen stock I sold you, it is not the newer Vixen II stock, it's the older style. My best guess is you'll need the Crankaroo.

Maybe someone else can answer this, isn't the Crankaroo for use on Exo series bows that don't have a cheekpiece?

Thanks Derrick, it is the Vixen stock I bought from you. I think the crankaroo I just bought from nocturnal is the right one. The fella who now owns Blackomax has a heart condition and I don't want to see him get hurt.

I think the C2 could be used on either bow. Pretty sure the only difference in the two was the Crankaroo was a tad longer and will not fit the newer bows with a creek rest without modifications being made.
