After injuring both shoulders, I thought bow shooting days were over.
I have progressed from 20 inches to 28 inches of draw and the
strength is getting better every day.
Most crossbows are so damn heavy I'd need a cart to drag it around.
I hooked my Draw-loc up to a Hoyt bow which only weighed about three pounds
and it carries just like a regular bow. Thank you so much for your
adding this to the sport. I and many others thank you .

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.
