RE: NUB to the forum and crossbows.
Yep, I am aware of the stupid, idiotic law. The good thing for my Dad is he does have the handicap permit so it is legal for him to use it. I talked to a G&F friend of mine about the law and he agrees it is dumb one and probably if there were more CB hunters in the state it could get changed. He also said that just because your bow has one on it doesn't make it illegal. If you read the law, it states that it cannot be cocked with device. Well if they don't actually witness you cocking it with the device then they cant fine you for it and if one does to make sure you fight it in court.
Dnk, to answer your question, yes I do need a cocking device. No I don't have a bow press, and no i don't need the fastest but I wouldn't complain about it! LOL
This actually leads me to another question, how long do you guys leave your bows cocked when in the field?
