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.

This was pretty cool. I found this while surfing around, it is about our Original In-Line Vertical.

Never, ever underestimate the ability of American engineers to come up with something incredibly cool and new.
I’ve fired a crossbow once (at a press junket for National Geographic’s Doomsday Castle), and I frankly wasn’t impressed with the one I shot. The constant refrain you here from all the shooters in the video above is that they are amazed at how good the trigger is on this crossbow.
It almost has me curious enough to want to try one.
Almost.
