Jerry ,
We got the Mini and it's amazing right out of the box!! I am just a dude, a novice , but I have test shot a bunch of XB's . The Mini is the Bomb! I'm a fairly healthy size guy and cocking this thing at full power was not easy. We reduced the power to low max (3 turns / about 100lbs I guess) and my son and I both can easily cock it with no gloves. It's no big deal for us big boys but even at the 100lb setting it was impossible for my wife and challenging for a couple small guys. I think 100lbs will be perfect for my son and me to practice, but of course I want to see what it will do cranked up. This Mini is probably one of my all time Fav's of all my toys. I've got a bunch of great toys...
Thanks’ a bunch!

I started looking at crossbows.....
I’m 64 years old and have enjoyed shooting and hunting with a bow since I was 19. In my thirties I pulled 80 lbs. but that has declined over the years to 60 lbs. Everything still works; shoulders, arms, and elbows, but they are showing the abuse I’ve given them over the years. I’m not as steady on target as I once was and I’m dealing with a slight case of target panic; however, I did get two deer this year. I started looking at crossbows but soon decided I did not want to give up my Mathews Drenalin LD. I was intrigued by the Draw-Loc when I saw it on the Internet. After a few emailed questions to Hickory Creek Archery, I ordered the Draw-Loc. It was easy to install and adjust. I’m able to keep my sight pin on the target, and I’m very impressed with the accuracy I’m achieving. At 25 yards I only shoot a couple of arrows at a spot because of the number of nocks I have broken. I may never shoot a deer at 50 yards but I’ve shot a few 3 arrow, 2-inch groups at that distance.
The Draw-Loc lacks some of the primitive joy of drawing an arrow to my cheek and releasing it, but next deer season it will be on my bow while hunting.
