The poly has two handles to hold onto and an extra long rope that will have to be cut to the length that best fits the
It is unknown to me what a 370 is like. As such, I am unable to comment. I can still use the rope with my Barnett, though.
You can use your crossbow if it uses a universal cocker. It came with a whitetail rope that was much too long for the Barnett Whitetail Pro STR. Despite being 6'1 and a bit more than 90 pounds, I had to do a butterfly with my shoulders to be able to cock it more than half The cocker was so hard to choke down that I had to choke down. So I didn't have to pull over and above my shoulders, I cut the string to the perfect length when I got home.
It is important that you check your crossbow to see if it has the notch for a

Sorry for the mistake! All right - all right - The following occurs when a user receives a product without instructions, is unsure how to use it, thinks he understands so does not search for instructions (after all what could be easier to use than a product with 2 hooks, 2 handles, and 1 A sled needs to be used as on the crank type cocking devices, and not simply two When these hooks are positioned together, they prevent the cocking string from establishing the trigger and anti dry fire Yes, I know! My string is cut in half and I knotted the ends for each hook together so that I now have 2 pieces of a single hook/handle each. By doing so, I am free to pull the hooks apart as I pull up the bowstring to allow the trigger and dryfire latches to be set. A second disadvantage of this method is that the string length will be halved, so anyone under 9 feet will be able to Please note that. Here's what you need to know. I could have avoided all that had I simply searched for an instructional video and found the string to be just the right length if I had just looked for an instructional video! I love it! As you can see from the comments, I'm not alone on this one! H. Jesus Christ is coming! Since only Hallmark cares enough to send the very best, we recommend you do the same!). I also object to the fact that these devices claim to reduce the cocking force by half that is merely 50 percent x two, which is utter.
Getting my crossbow ready for use had been a hand job I then came across information on cocking devices and thought to try one out. I used it during practice to ensure that my bow still held a zero while I was gearing up for deer season when it arrived. I found a flaw in the document. Nonetheless, this was not a defect in the product. It appears I was pulling on one side of the string harder than the other and, as a result, the string was not properly center. In this way, the problem was resolved, and I found that I had compensated for this by changing the scope of the project all along. It cost me a considerable amount of time and money in adjusting my scope to bring it to where it should've been the whole time. So, I recommend not using your bare hands for cocking and grab a rope instead. With a cocker, you can ensure that the string will remain squarely on the rail every time. Shooting depends entirely on consistency, so any item that makes the system more reliable will help your performance.
The only way I could have pulled back the bow string without some sort of leverage was to find some sort of leverage. This was a game changer. I did not have any problems with it other than the fact I have MS and sometimes do get weak in my neck and shoulders, and with the rope being so long, I had to use more energy than I normally would if I pulled only up to my waist instead of Although I used the rope to cock it, I became very tired very quickly. As I mentioned earlier, I spoke to a Barnett representative who said it was okay to shorten the rope if needed. I did that, but the rope is still rough on me even if I don't have any problem with my arms. In order to determine if I can get one of the crank-style cocking devices, I would need to find out how it fits on the stock of my crossbow. While this may be a wait, I have to say it's a lot better than trying to cock it by hand. Worth the price To be honest, if you don't have any physical problems, this may be all you.
Despite having bought this item 5 years ago, when I was cocking my Barnett Brotherhood crossbow, I broke the rope. There was a pulley in my garage that went through the ceiling just before I hit my head. Given that the bow was pulling 160 pounds, I would estimate that the pulley must have been traveling at approximately 90 miles per hour, which would have seriously injured me had it struck me. That's the case. Make sure your rope is changed out every couple of years or once a year if you use your crossbow a lot. As a learning experience, I have ordered a new cocking rope, and I now plan to replace it Periodic maintenance is necessary for this device, but it works perfectly.
Despite its humble origins, this is a highly effective rope device, constructed from sturdy Unlike so many others, I also found the retaining knots to be a bit long. It can be rectified, however, by tying new ones. I really like the hand grips - I think they are awesome For me, these cockers are more ergonomic than other ones I have Unless there is something seriously wrong with the rope, I would say the gauge is a little thick, the rope itself feels, um, I don't know. . The snare feels strange. I am not worried it will break, and it is strong enough to handle a 185 lb draw weight every time, but it does feel weird. Perhaps I am the only one who feels this way. This is probably the case. The product in any case is a good one.
In the description, this bow is said to be compatible with the bow brand Barnett it is meant The cocking tool I obtained was meant to help me get a good grip on my 150lb manticore. On my model of crossbow, the safety was right beside the string locking mechanism, which got in the way of the mechanics of this simple yet efficient device. To open the bow, you have to have the fire on in order to engage the auto safety system. I would use this device to prevent my string from being fully cocked since the hooks on the device would engage my bow's safety notch. There are some positive things to say about this device, such as the ease of setting it up and the ease of learning to use it as well as the reduced difficulty in cocking the Plastic and rope construction makes this bag durable and long-lasting. Not so good things to mention are that the handles need to be adjusted for height and the shape of the hooks should be flush with the rail to prevent safety.
I thought the improved version would reduce the amount of effort I would have to use when cocking a 165 lb crossbow string, but that was not the case. My money was spent on a sales pitch that was hyped up.
Originally designed for my father, this Barnett Crossbow Rope Cocking Device is a gift for him. Having a recurve crossbow in his hands, he was cocking it with his hands. He had almost given up on the crossbow because it would shoot arrows right, left, high, and low at him. When I recommended this product to him, it immediately corrected his accuracy problems. It now takes him half an inch to shoot half-inch groups at 30 yards, and he loves taking it out A permanent attachment to his crossbow would be the only way to make it better. Even so, he does sometimes forget to take it with him, and once it's left behind it wouldn't be a problem. As a whole, this is a terrific.
