Using a modern, high-tech crossbow has made hunting easier, faster, and even more fun. However, there are also downsides to choosing this instead of less-sophisticated equipment – one of which is the difficulty that comes with cocking the said device given its weight. Here we introduce Barnett Crank Cocking devices, which will make your life easier.
Using a modern, high-tech crossbow has made hunting easier, faster, and even more fun. However, there are also downsides to choosing this instead of less-sophisticated equipment – one of which is the difficulty that comes with cocking the said device given its weight. Generally speaking, there are three ways for you to be able to cock a crossbow. The first involves manually cocking it. This is very hard, even near impossible for some given the effort that needs to be exerted to be able to successfully do so. The second is done using a rope. This makes cocking easier, but you still need to use a fair amount of muscle. The third requires the use of crank devices. This is undoubtedly more expensive as you need to buy the device, but it makes cocking fast and very easy to do.
If you have a Barnett crossbow and are on the lookout for crank devices for it, you should know that there are two Barnett crank cocking devices out in the market. The first one is meant for users of the Barnett Predator and Revolution crossbows; the second is to be used on the following models: Panzer V, Penetrator, Quad Avi, Quad 400, and Wildcat C5.
There are a number of benefits to be had by purchasing either of these two devices. The first has something to do with fitment. As both these devices were developed solely for specific models of Barnett crossbows, you can be sure that these will fit snugly on the stock of your bow - provided, of course, that you purchase the right one depending on your crossbow’s model. The second is ease of use: both devices feature a one-crank handle that makes it very easy for you to crank your crossbow. The third advantage of these crank devices is they have an anti-reverse feature, making it safer to use them compared to other similar products. Fourth, both these products are just a little over a hundred dollars, making them relatively cheaper than other crank devices in the market. And last but certainly not the least, with these Barnett crank cocking devices the tension is decreased to just 16 lbs., which means it takes virtually no effort on your part to crank your bow.
Most consumers who purchased these devices are satisfied as far as cost, appearance, and performance are concerned. However, there are some who claim that a certain level of mechanical skill is necessary for the proper installation of the device on the crossbow. There are also users who complained that these do not work for other models of the Barnett crossbow.
All in all, these crank devices by Barnett are a good buy if your crossbow is one of those mentioned in the second paragraph. Otherwise, it would be better to purchase another crossbow crank device.
