Default RE: New stringing, maintenance device for recurve crossbows

I was checking out your cocking aids and suchand have a question... have you ever checked into the liability issue of making a system like that and selling it?


I'm notsure how that stuff works but(and not to knock your designs)your cocking aid looks like its a pretty "high friction" design and hasa fair possibility of failure in a realitively short time, you better make sure that if that things breaks at near full draw and dry fires someones bow, or worse yet seriously hurts someone that your not the one whos going to be held responsible...
making and using one yourself is one thing, but marketing a product like that(even on a small scale) and selling it to the general public is different...

its kind of like me rigging up a fall harness, selling it, and then having it break and failwhile someone was using it and fell, maybe evencausingthem injury, I'd think when it came right down to it that I'd be held responible... your deal isnt as dramatic as that but I wonder if the same principles apply, most guys are pretty decent and would probably not have an issue other than being irritated that it happened but all it takes is one guy and a lawyer and you could be in a little trouble


maybe something to check into if you havent already...
