Loading a Micro

[JUSTANUFF]

Hey all,,,,have not had a chance to go a pull a Micro yet so I thought maybe my curiosty could be answered here,,,,,,,,What is it like to cock with a rope cocker a Micro compared to my 175lb Vixen!!!Ya know my wheels are spinin all the time???

It is a bit heavy at the end of the draw cycle, but it is a short stroke, so it's over quickly. It is harder than my 355, and about equal to a Matrix 380 in terms of force, it is not too bad.

Appreciate the reply,,,I will eventually probably go to my local Cabelas and see for myself,,,Having gone through a recent laminectomy(back surgery) my 175lb Vixen is not to bad,,,but after about 6-10times in a shootin session,,,I'm feelin it ,,,,the fact that the Micro is shorter may help a lot,,,we shall see

....I totally agree with what Dan said...however, my description is just as you are getting ready to yell, "Holy S%#T!" you hear click...hence for me...a cocking mechanism C2 is on its way to my house for range use....

I just sold a M380 to get the micro I can agree with Anthoney it's more than the 380 but just as you really start to feel it you hear that click

The most i have shot the Micro in one session was around 30 times, and it started getting a bit hard toward the end. I have gone into the low 100's in one session with the 355, and no real issue near the end. You might want the crank with a back issue already nagging at you. I have a feeling there is going to be a Micro in the 305 FPS range just to address this issue soon. There are many hunters that are very happy hitting 300 FPS with the smaller bow. I see a marketing demand there!

I would agree with that marketing strategy. My M330 is fine for me. No doubt I could pull a 405 but I tend to like shooting more than a few times when I do go shooting. Used to shoot 70 lb compounds too....now 60 lbs. I would buy a 300 fps micro. Not interested in a 335 fps/270 lb draw weight.

I have been shooting my Micro exclusively since I got it, and I shot both my M380 and Micro today. In my opinion, the short stroke of the Micro is much "easier" to get cocked than the M380.

The more I shoot the Micro the more I like it.
