Adjusting Your Crossbow Rope Cocking Aid 

I'm new to crossbows, and was ready to give up because of difficulty cocking. This has helped me understand the proper way to adjust and use by rope cocking device. Thanks!

Well that explains a lot!! I was about to spend more on a crank cocking mechanism than the crossbow cost, but I'll try shortening my cocking rope first to see if that makes it easier.

Very interesting video, thank you. I've been shooting crossbows for a few years and never even thought about this.

crossbows and I use cranking system , this is the best video on using the rope system I seen so far very good video.

adjusted my crossbow cocking aide as instructed. What a difference thanks for the great tips.keep up the great videos

Thank you so much. You guys are the reason why I got my crossbow on Father's Day and learning how to set it up and well

Thank you for this video. It has made cocking my bow so much easier.

Great thanks for the help im new to crossbows and found it hard to prime even with the cord but after watching this i had no issues priming it thxs

Thank you. I was dreading having to lug around the cocking rope, but now it’s taken care of.

Informative. I'm surprising my wife with a Barnett panzer V crossbow for Christmas this year! Thanks.

The simplicity of a recurve crossbow is captivating. Cocking a crossbow is a little awkward at first, but becomes like second nature with some practice. The most convenient place to hang your cocking rope between shots is to drape it around your neck. Just make sure it is not anywhere near your bow string or cables during the shot. The newer more powerful crossbows of today have such high poundage that is seems they would not be fun to shoot for long periods of time. Any crossbow around 150 pounds, with the right arrow setup (High FOC, bare shaft tuned, tough single bevel broadhead, 500+ grain arrow) is plenty lethal to harvest very large game. Fred Bear killed large game animals 1000 pound plus with a recurve shooting 35ish foot/pound of kinetic energy. Even the lightest adult crossbows are shooting in the 40s.

Thank you for this video I’m new to crossbow hunting and i was wondering about shortening the pull cocker rope I’m 6’ 3/4” tall and when my bow locks in my hands are up to the too of my chest it’s not bad the first few times but sighting it in shooting several times it gets hard over extending yourself like that!

Great job and video just never really thought about shortening it up thanks that'll make it easier

great video by the way thank you! Word of advice always double check your hooks before you start to pull. Haha I had a mishap once and got smucked in the face because I had one hook only half way on. How I did that I still don't know but it hurt.

Thanks for the good common sense advice, it shows that you know what your taking about.

Needed that; many thanks.

Great, very helpful video 👍

I got my new crossbow and it was SO HARD to cock back. But this video helped so much. Thx

Thats great! Wouldnt have thought of this, thank you!

I am new to crossbows, so this might be a dumb question: I have a 175 pound crossbow, which I can cock, but not easily. The rope cocking aid makes it really easy. The only problem is that the rope tends to slide out of the groove in the stock that is behind the rear sight and the trigger mechanism. So, I wondered if it might make sense to use an adhesive to more securely and permanently keep the rope in the groove. It looks to me like this will not in any way interfere with the function of the bow, but I thought I should post this question and hopefully get some expert answers. Of course, I would need to remove the two hooks that ride on the bow string before firing. But it seems like they could just hand off the rest of the crossbow without causi9ng any harm. Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated.

Good information, but the how-to should have been at the beginning, instead of at the end. I need to buy one of these for my 150lb recurve crossbow. Thank you for putting this out, Jeff.

Thanks for the tip!!! Very,very helpful!

One million thanks really need this video. ☺

Crossbow Nation Hello. I was wondering how dangerous cocking a crossbow can be? If the string snaps while cocking it with bear hands, will it pose any sort of danger?

Which type of rope is you used for cross bow.. Nylon cotton or other

Thanks!! New at this and really helpful man !!

Is it okay to store your bow with the rope cocking aid on (does this add to much stress on the bow limbs and string) and if yes is is it a legal way to store your bow when its left in its case? Thanks.

Thanks for the info,mine is 3 inches to long, both sides.cocking rope.

Thank you so much. This helped a ton

Does it matter which way you have the hooks facing before you pull the string back??

Very informative! Thanks a million!

great advice.thank you

Thank you, very helpful.

Maybe I am crazy or the cocking aid that came with our crossbow had been altered already. The store just put a whole bunch of stuff in a bag and handed it to us. The cocker has no more string to let out and is only about 2-3 feet long. I can't even get 1 hook to the string and around the spot where directions say to go around the butt at. Am i missing something?

this helped 100%

Didn't know this, thank you!

Dam thank u bro I was just pissed and was doing this wrong thanks

Thanks man.

Thanks Bro, short, sweet and useful ..... I mean the info. : )

Thank you

Thank you sir

Perfect!

thank you was a help

Not showing enough reviews on the new 2018 Raptor FX not the Raptor FX Pro

nice idea!

Thanks

thanks man

u didnt show exactly how u put the rope at the bow, u have to hook it somewhere before u started. I saw that on other videos.

My bow won't lock into position why

I got one of these but I find it to be a pain in the ass and unnecessary. I just put on a good pair of leather gloves and do it by hand. So much quicker. I realize not everyone has the strength to do that tho

How tf are you doing this mine hangs 4 inches on the ground

I got like a foot and a half on each side too long

I thought my phone was broken at the beginning

How the fuck am I supposed to cock the bullshit ass crossbow if the grippers just simply SLIDES ONTO THE RAIL THE LAST CENTIMETERS!? it fucked up my rail as I tried.

Also you. I saw 3 different video this morning and nobody like you and you too doesn't show the final result using it to cocking the crossbow. Are you shy?

Shows what to look for at bottom end, tells you how to do top end. But, never shows how to do it with a full video so you could see how he adjusted the top end "where his arms were ect.."...very bad instructional video, my god how hard is it to have full body video so we can see what your doing when adjusting top end!! Video Sucks
