Hey Jerry, I have attached two pictures of myself with your inline vertical crossbow. One photo shows how I carry it around while hunting. I use a external frame back pack and hang it from the frame. This keeps my hands free to glass, bugle and range find. When I walk, I just put one hand on the bow string to stabilize it. Works great. I love how the bow breaks down so easy. I simply put it in my backpack while I hike the mountain in the dark and then assemble it just as it gets light. Awesome.
I have also installed the HHA optimizer for crossbows and have sighted it in out to 100 yards! I use a primos trigger stick bipod to steady my left hand for the longer shots. Works great!
I can leave the bow cocked for a few hours during a hunt. I never went very long since it is so easy to uncock compared to other crossbows.
Unfortunately, I did not get chance to harvest an animal this year with it. Maybe next year!
Thanks!
