Jerry,
I was an avid bow hunter and loved archery in general. I shot compounds for the first 15 years, and then shot a recurve for about 5 years after that.
I then developed tendonitis in my right wrist, and finally has surgery in 2007. For the first couple of years after that, I just sat at home during bow season. I then got a disability permit for a crossbow. The crossbow allowed me to get back in the woods, and was much more fun than a rifle.
I recently ordered a draw loc from you. This thing is awesome! Most importantly for me, I can cock it with one hand. I was shocked at how quiet it was when I shot it. It is great to shoot a bow again, it is fun. I was able to shoot decent groups at 30 yards in no time.
I did not realize how much I missed shooting a bow. I can now tune things to get good arrow flight. Adjust nock height, adjust the rest, whatever I want to do. I also love being able to use a pin sight again. I can set the pins to whatever yardage that I want. I could not do this with a crossbow scope, and had to remember first crosshair at 20 y, next one 30 y, then 38 y, then 45y. Also the bow is much lighter than a crossbow.
Thanks for a great product!

A word from Collin County Archery In Dallas
We just recently became a dealer for Hickory Creek and are actually in the process of developing a "Customized" VAC (vertical assault crossbow) model, which is simply a tweaked version of their current model. I will personally vouch for them. I was anti-crossbow for many years but the design of this thing is ingenious and it fits the needs of nearly everyone that would be in the crossbow market. On the model we are working on with 125lb limbs, we have already achieved faster speeds than the advertised 365fps using a standard arrow. The benefit to that being..... no specialty target needed, use a standard arrow and far higher kenetic energy than a standard carbon bolt out of a faster crossbow. After tuning we are getting 2" groups at 100yds, however we plan to push it out to 200yds to see how well it performs there. Once our customizations have been completed we will write a review, post specs & pics here on AT. In the mean time, the factory model is more than enough for even an expert marksman.
