Wait… why is this in the archery - bow hunting thread???

 

chuckle.

 

You guys are old enough it doesn’t matter.  Good luck with your new toys.

 

Yes, I know they’re legal for everyone now.  I heard from someone at a retailer they were selling at a rate of 6:1 to compounds.

cause its got an arrow thingy!!!!!!!!! aany ideas of a place that would but it together??? maybe a place that if i purchased some more arrow thingy's some rage tips and a case??????/

They're pretty easy to assemble

I highly recommend an auto -cocker. An old dude can hurt himself loading to many arrow 

" thingys" when practicing

[smurfy]

well that seems pretty simple!!!!!!!!! thanks ronnie!!!!!!!!

 

i do have the rope thing to arm it, gotta look if it is designed for the auto cocker!!!!!!

The auto cocker is an acce$$ory that attaches to the stock & has a crank arm to wind.

There's also a battery operated one , but even I'm not that old.

after watching the video i took another look at assembling it. decided i dint want to damage something. and more importantly didnt want to put it together wrong and hurt myself in the process. i'll pay an experienced person to do it!!!!!!1

Look up some archery shops in your area.  Unfortunately I don’t know if any down there.  I’ve had work done at Archery Country in Brainerd I’ve been happy with.

[Mike89]

I think what is hilarious, they first approved them for use by the disabled, but if you don't have the auto-cocker the darn things are way harder to rope cock then pulling a compound back!

Safety tip from experience Smurf.

Pulling a cocking rope w/ sweaty hands or loose fitting gloves is a no - no. If one hand slips free , ya lean one direction & punch your chops w/ the loose mitt.

Or you could just use your Ocopa hand warmers to eliminate that possibility
