A better way to let the bow down after a hunt than shooting it.

I agree with martin about letting the bow down after hunting with one addition. I don't like the loud click, click, click when cocking the bow so I have started putting a finger on the selector lever only slightly to stop this anoying click when cockingmy bow. It work perfectly and doesn't alter the cocking one bit. That loud click could scare off game before light so that's why I started doing the silence cocking thingy. And since I leave my bowlocked up in my box stand all the time, I have to shoot it at dark to unload it. This loud shooting also could scare game away so an uncocking method would be worth it's weight in gold to me. Also one other thing, I'd buy a new ten point bow with these silence toolsAND if it had a thumb hole wooden laminated stock to go with it's good looks. To me, that would be the utter most perfect crossbow on the market. But I'd hate to see the price tag on thisbaby. Oh and Randy, you know I'm a ten point shooter with the QX4. LOL. I love it.

The youth bow is a great Idea. I just bought a Pheonix for my son but it is still too big for him to shoot free handed. He has to have a rest...

Guys, get an Excal style rope cocker for uncocking those bows. If you have a dry fire inhibitor, you can fool it w/ #2 wood pencil, lol. There's a video of doing this on Excals site, but if you can't find it pm me, I'll hunt it up. They uncock a heck of a lot easier than they cock, you will be quietly amazed, lol.

One thing for sure I do not want Randy is extreme speed. I would like an IBO speed of around 330 or so. Also the same string length as everyone else.

Randy, I count 5 different improvements, may I suggest that you do a poll and find which are most important to the crossbow users.

It is very respectable of you Randy. I think the time has come for a lighter recurve. I guess that counts as two items on my agenda. If the price was lower alsoyou would make many more followers.

I have a TP and love it.

Not an engineer, but what would be the possibility of designing a compound crossbow that does not require a press to change out the cables and string?
I, too, think a TenPoint recurve would be an interesting concept.
