Cocking rope failure

[janesy]

Get Amsteel rope, comes in several diameters and lengths, I use around 1/8” with no problems for cocking and stringing aides. Jody5252, pm me your address and I will send you a yard or so. Double knot the ends, and burn the frayed strands to make a bulb on the end.

In my opinion using anything less that Amsteel rope or equivalent is asking for trouble. The original string on my C2 was scary to use after a while. Some fraying and flat spots. To calm my nerves while cocking I always use Amsteel rope. The energy contained in a cocked crossbow's limbs is to be respected or else!!.

I still worry about the hooks and would replace them but with what I don't know. No hooks available from Munch.

Someone on this forum told us to use lawn mower starting cord as a replacement string for the cocker.

Please don't. It's not designed for that much force.

I found what frays the cocking rope on the charger crank. when you pull out the rope to cock the bow pull it straight down , not to a outward position or it will rub on the blue covers and in time will fray the rope . this is what I found.
