Default Draw Lock? Is it ok to use?

What is your opinion on Draw Lock? Here is mine. I think it is a great tool that can be use for the people that need it(Kids, handicaps). But I think if the average hunter uses it it's sorta cheating. I mean it can be a big advantage since the arrow can go at unheard of speeds, but still think that only the ones who can't pull the bow back should use it. I want everyone to be able to hunt and if the draw-lock will wnable them to then they should go for it.

I think you misinterpret what a draw lock does. It doesn't increase arrow speed but simply locks an existing compound at full draw. This is an illegal weapon in PA even for handicap persons allow to use crossbows. In my opinion the draw lock takes a compound and turns it into a vertical crossbow.

I take the same position I take for crossbows. A great tool for handicapped persons but a pathetic attempt at archery by healthy individuals capable of pulling and shooting a bow.

Sounds like Rob pretty well covered it . If you need something like that why not just use a gun .
