Last paragraph of article:
Perhaps the most useful piece of adaptive equipment is referred to as a, 'draw loc.' A draw lock holds the person's bow at full draw until a trigger is activated. While a draw lock-equipped bow is essentially the functional equivalent of a crossbow, the experience of using such a bow is similar to that of using a compound bow instead of a crossbow. An advantage of of using a draw loc is that persons who are strength impaired can draw the bow between their hands and feet using their stronger back and leg muscles. One down point to the use of a draw lock is that it does add weight to the person's bow.

One of my all time Fav's of all my toys.
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!
Dave
