Hell I thought this was the way everybody did it. I did it without thinking the first time. I never really thought shooting one of my bolts into the ground was a good idea. even though I do carry a kind of junk one in my quiver........
You'd be surprised. Just about anything you read about crossbow safety tells you the proper way to uncock your crossbow is to discharge an arrow into the ground. But after seeing my brother ruin one that way I'll definitely be doing it like this from now on.
