I have a 175 lb exocet and I can easily decock it by hand(gloves are nice to wear). Using a rope is really easy as well. Many carry one or just a few arrows so there's room for a bent alunininininum arrow to shoot into the ground. I would not use a carbon for that though. Don't want any surprises!
BTW welcome to the forum. Just wait its your time in the barrel! LOL! and watch out for the Squirrel!

Squirrel would you like me to send you an aluninum arrow? If you damage a carbon arrow badly and shoot it you maybe wishing you had armor and safety glasses.
Its watch out for The Squirrel because you are a force to be reckoned with! Remember the deer you killed without touching it?

With my old 150# super mag I used to just use my hand and let it down. With my supermax 175 that extra 25# makes alot if differance to me. One time it sliped out of my hand and was kinda like a half dry fire. I think I had it down enough to not cause any damage but it freaked me out. Now I always just shoot an alluminumarrow into the ground. I just have a nice soft spot picked out by the woods with no rocks and the arrow last all season. Also you should only have this problem while hunting because you should be at home or range and have a target.
