Wheeledhuntertex, there are many options out there for you. I have an Excalibur crossbow and had an accudraw installed on it so that I can **** the bow with the help of a small cordless drill or a hand crank that comes with the accudraw. You can also use a device called a Crankaroo made by excalibur that you simply attach to the butt stock with a brass bolt ( finger tighten ) and then crank it back. You then remove the crankaroo, put it in your pack and your ready to shoot!!!! You are welcome to email me and I'd be happy to send you some photos of my bow as well as some links that will help you.
