RE: How long can you.......
Ya bunch of babies! In the old days I used to grab the string of my 165lb Exocet with both hands and flip the trigger with my thumb and ease it down. We didn't have any sissy rope cockers or didn't shoot an arrow. Just the real man's way! And there was no complaining or whining! Well maybe we didn't know any better! Didn't even have a groove for a rope cocker! When men were men and probably a few teeth went missing, LOL!
