IS IT SUPPOSE TO BE THAT HARD?
I did purchase the hand crank devise and used that- but i feel so much torque, that i was afraid to load it and fire it!!

Sounds about normal. The bow's draw weight is stated at 150 lbs (but feels like more). Most of us a rope ****er, which cuts ****ing effort in half. ****ing the bow with your hands without aid just cases poor accuracy. It's all important to orient the arrow with **** feather down, and make sure it's all the ay back against the string. Even a partial dryfire can be disastrous, esp for the bow.
