 Really need this!Feb 04, 2010
By Rick E. Lamming
"WOT lover"
Seems like you could make one for about $2 worth of rope and a hunk of steel, but if you have a crossbow you need this.
After cocking my 150 lb crossbow about 4 times during target practice, my fingers had had it!
I used this once, then took up a little slack in the rope and would NEVER go back to hand cocking again. It seems like it took 90% of the effort to cock it away. Made it so easy to cock that I could practice all day.
Best investment I made for my crossbow, that and I can use it on other bows too.
Works great.

 Why wouldn't you use this?Aug 18, 2010
By Jeff's opinion
It took me 2 years of crossbow hunting to realize that pulling the string back by hand just didn't make sense. Hopefully it wont take you that long! Don't know why I resisted buying something so simple. This thing works great. No problem with the rope hooks jumping off the string. You simply loop the rope over the stock notch and slide your hands down toward the bowstring while holding the hooks and hook the string. Grab the handles and pull. String is locked centered on the stock every time. I know this because my string has centering marks on it. They were needed to adjust the string to center after cocking by hand. For the record, I have a Barnett Quad 400 and love that too. I imagine that this will work with many other brands as well.
The only other thing I can say is that this device seems very well made. I know that I can't make it for the few dollars it cost to buy it. I'm sure the parts are cheap but my time isn't. I would highly recommend this to anyone with a crossbow.

Barnett rope cocking device for crossbows.May 27, 2010
By D. Medford
Barnett Rope Cocking Device
I bought this device afer I had purchased a new crossbow. And just getting into the sport of crossbow hunting. After learning that it is very difficult if not impossible to cock a crossbow by hand. This device makes it a breeze. My daughter can even do it. A must for any crossbow shooter.

Shorten rope and good to go..Jul 14, 2010
By angel928
The rope lenght is too long, so just pull the end knot out of the handles and put in a new knot taking up some rope on both sides. The plastic hooks that actually pull on the bow string will have less chance to slip off if you first put the rope around the stock then hook on to the string. Thats all it take to make it perfect!

Makes target practice a lot more pleasurable.Sep 08, 2010
By Thomas I. Crawford
Trying to hand cock is painful. This device makes it so much easier. The hooks seem a little sloppy, and fall off easily. Pull the string out of the handle and tie a new knot to make it the perfect length for your crossbow. The picture provided by amazon is not the one I received. On the end of mine are two handles I would describe as similar to the handle on a pull string for a lawn mower.
