On both of my Horton's there was plenty of times I would go out for the sunrise hunts and come home for the afternoon and then go back out for a evening hunt and leave cocked all day with no problem. There was a few times I even got in a hurry and left it in the truck cocked over night when I was trying the drive home and shoot into the target trick. But now that I have a rope cocker I uncock every time with no problem. It even works on my super max with the one Horton sells. You have to use a Horton rope cocker with a Horton because a Excal style will interfere with the safety when cocking. Anyone who has never used a rope cocker to uncock with has no idea how easy it is and what they are missing.
Jason, showed a few Horton guys how to use an Excal type rope cocker to both cock and uncock, trick is ya gotta put the hooks on upside down to clear the safety. On uncocking, you have to be double careful as you have gravity w/ upside down hooks to deal w/ but still can be easliy and safely done, if you pay close attention. Fwiw.
