.....someone had asked for the price of the Kocker since there is no price on the DrStirrup website....Gaston has contacted me and said that is because they are not ready to ship... He does not want to list his price and have people ordering only to be waiting for delivery...please be patient...!he is working as hard as he can... As soon as he is ready to ship he will list the price and orders can begin!

I've got to ask since I've seen this listed in a few posts about the stirrup.
When people talk about not putting an arrow in their foot while it's in the stirrup...what are they doing? Or do they mean people forgot to remove the arrow before manually decocking the bow?

There are a few members here with Trophy Boots with a nice broadhead hole in them after accidently uncocking their crossbow without removing their arrow first.

...caused by not focusing on the task at hand, decocking it in the dark and not having a clear visual, discussing the day's hunt with others in the group instead of concentrating on the decocking process...or just plain fatigue might have set in....

never would have occurred to me as i normally decock by shooting a ft arrow into a target back at camp
was going to switch methods this year... and this gives me something to be cognizant of.

It only happens if you shoot shorter than normal arrows recommended for your particular Excalibur Model. With normal length arrows your boot tip would kick the arrow our of the way when placing your foot into the stirrup.

I keep my arrows long enough so that I can't get my foot into the stirrup without removing the arrow first.
I did watch someone try to shoot their foot one day, but I stopped him first.
He was gonna uncock his barnett with his cocking rope like I do, but left the arrow in. It was not a broad head, but still would have left a hole in his foot.

Greetings Anthony. I spoke with Gaston on Tue., 9-22 He just called to thank me for my order (was just for the bumpers) and that it was to be shipped today. Asked if I had any questions about his products. Said that he is waiting on the packaging material. (for the Rope kocker) Should be ready by early Oct. This is one stand up guy. Really look forward to trying his products... J.

Hey Folks,
I went to the DrStirrup website to ask questions and to find out in particular if there was any dealers in or around my area because I was interested in seeing the product. And to see it installed on a crossbow before I made a purchase. That is the way I am with most items that I buy. Unfortunately to say, I never even received a return email, from Gaston or anyone else. I even had contact information for a Distributor that deals with hunting and fishing supplies and other odds and ends, all around the Maritime Provinces but no one contacted me from DrStirrup.
Thank you,
Raymond

He is very busy and it took about a month for him to get back to me.
Very impressed with Gaston and his ideas. Outstanding guy that is over worked at the present time

Unfortunately, the way my memory works now I hope I will not forget about this Dr.Stirrup. I have a lot of trouble remembering from a day to the next a lot of times. I will help Gaston out as much as I can if he wants any help from me, I will do my best.

....Raymond, the way that DrStirrup needs your help is by talking up his products if you genuinely feel that his product have helped both silence your bow and made your bow easier to cock....talking about his products means also if you have a local bow shop...bring your bow in to show them and give them his contact info from his website (drStirrup.com)

Thanks,

Anthony

Anthony,
I cannot talk up Gaston and his products to be genuinely honest and helpful to him right now because I only am able to see the products on the DrStirrup website. I cannot say or feel that his product have helped both silence my bow and nor has it made my bow easier to cock because I have not had the chance to put one on my crossbow or see one or try one out on someone else's crossbow because there is none in the area.
Most products I need to see and handle them, and try the product mounted before I purchase product like that. I know of a local shop that sells nothing but Excalibur Crossbow's in their sports department from previously working in that store before my health took a major drop and I had to retire. I also know of a Distributor/Supplier of Hunting and Fishing Supplies for the Maritime Provinces and he is the supplier for all the Maritime businesses that sells Excalibur Crossbows. I actually know of more stores also but I have nothing but their web site to start with and I cannot even show them his product so I would look sort of funny walking into businesses with nothing physical to show them.
Thanks,
Raymond

Does the Safe Stirrup shown on the website fit the Matrix Grizzly ?

Reason I ask is that at the bottom of the page it reads:

"Handle your crossbow more easily thanks to the DrStirrup: a light, strong and versatile stirrup. It fits on all Excalibur Matrix crossbows, including previous generations with large limbs (does not fit on models made of polymer barrel)."
