I keep a older arrow with me in my quiver, and when it's time to get down out of my stand, I pick out a object, like a leaf or something, and fire. Two things, it let's me know my scope is still on, and un-cocks my bow ~~~~ I'm shooting a 200 pounder with a crank, I wouldn't even attempt to to un-cock with the crank .... If something ever happened, it would be a nightmare ~~~
