Henry: Give it a rest!! Out of all the xbows out there, your Pro -Elite is one of the only ones that has a dry-fire inhibitor and a fore arm safety. There are approximately 500,000 crossbow hunters in North America, shooting all kinds of different bows. How do they all survive w/o the forearm safety and dry-fire inhibitor??? !st thing I'd do on forearm safety is super glue that puppy out of existance, if mechanically feasable. Think about this for a minute. I'm left-handed sooooo.... that fore arm safety means to me I can only hold the bow in one position, where my thumb is on the button; not a condition I want. You seem to keep confusing available options w/ over all quality. I'm trying to make a point here, if you want the bells and whistles and are willing to pay for them, you cannot beat a 10 pt. If you don't want all that, there are other more economical choices out there. Yer buddy/former buddy Dan
