![]() So I decided to redesign the body, the sled, and in the meantime, 3 more US utility patents got filed. I have many version made (total eight so far). Im not in a hurry to go back to thatĪlways enough time top do the right thing. They worked but were loud and you had to put it on then take it off. Ive used other cranks the old excal crank on the 405 and the parker crank on the strikeforce. Is telling me you might need another shot so you need to think about cocking in the blinds. But having 43 years of bow hunting under my belt. Yes i can cock it out side or at the truck. And makes life easier and a more enjoyable hunt. Good Luck finding what puts a smile on your face. ![]() Just some of my thoughts and experiences. I really don't need it and it doesn't make it easier. Or i'm hunting the box blind or outside on a ridge hunting a lower flat. This gives me the choice of ok im hunting the tripod stand or that DB blind that crank will be handy there so ill pop it on. I can leave the crank on full time or i can like now take it off. I can silently let my bows down with a rope cocker or the crank. Like i said i modify every thing just about. For me its about if its needed or just easier. So i never use the crank for that i've never seen any advantage in accuracy using the mission crank vs the rope cocker. Shooting the bow off the porch its easy for me to cock slow. This fall im not using it and its harder cocking the bow in the blinds and the days of me cocking it setting down with the rope cocker have past. I just remembered how handy it was setting in my seat quietly cranking the bow back. Last year during Turkey season it wasn't about need. All you hear is the click when it cocks and you get that with the rope cocker too. I found this extremely nice cocking the bow before day light in my blind turkey hunting. ![]() A few years ago after my surgery i needed it. But iv'e never modified the Mission crank. These are the main reasons I would like to be able to decock the bow without firing, to me it is like having to fire my muzzleloader in order to unload it, it just is'nt pratical.Seems i modify about every thing i have lol. I have been ticketed by the MNR for having my crossbow cocked while at my truck after a hunt, (the law here states that you cannot possess a loaded weapon which if its cocked its loaded, 50m from any road, which is where I usually park). Others have also suggested keeping a bag or block in the truck and unload it into that, which is a safety regulation in our area. which means the ground is frozen, and there is usually a foot or two of snow, so I would either shatter the bolt if it is carbon or bend it if it is aluminum and would probably never find it in the snow (now I usually hunt twice a day every day sometimes, this would be a nuisance having to damage or look for bolts twice a day). First off most of the crossbow hunting I do is in late november and december and temperatures at that time of the year are usually 0-20 degrees faren. The problem I have with shooting the bow to uncock it is more of a safety issue.
