Default My xbow got an UPGRADE!!!!!!

A couple of really great guys on another crossbow forum I visit decided to take it upon themselves to get a winding cocking devise installed on my bow!!!! My heartfelt thanks to Dan Miller with Horizontal Archery in Ohio, and all the guys over at TnDeer.com who made this happen!!!!!! I would LIKE to post the pics, but it said file to large, so you'll have to follow the link.

I haven't got to shoot it yet, we need to tighten the limb back down to the stock, and I can't find the info on what it needs to be torce'd (sp) to.

To tight could dammage it, and to loose...well, that wont do either. We are in our afternoon shower season down here too, and I work, so I'm not sure when I'll get to shoot it.I'll let yall know what I think when I finally do!!!!!

Cat,
I'm glad Dan was able to get it on for you. make sure you follow the instructions that it came with. If you have questions on it, ask first. If you are ggoing to use a drill or driver instead of the crank, you can, but be careful.
Have fun!
Randy
