I’m 64 years old and have enjoyed shooting and hunting with a bow since I was 19. In my thirties I pulled 80 lbs. but that has declined over the years to 60 lbs. Everything still works; shoulders, arms, and elbows, but they are showing the abuse I’ve given them over the years. I’m not as steady on target as I once was and I’m dealing with a slight case of target panic; however, I did get two deer this year. I started looking at crossbows but soon decided I did not want to give up my Mathews Drenalin LD. I was intrigued by the Draw-Loc when I saw it on the Internet. After a few emailed questions to Hickory Creek Archery, I ordered the Draw-Loc. It was easy to install and adjust. I’m able to keep my sight pin on the target, and I’m very impressed with the accuracy I’m achieving. At 25 yards I only shoot a couple of arrows at a spot because of the number of nocks I have broken. I may never shoot a deer at 50 yards but I’ve shot a few 3 arrow, 2-inch groups at that distance.
The Draw-Loc lacks some of the primitive joy of drawing an arrow to my cheek and releasing it, but next deer season it will be on my bow while hunting.

My Vertical Crossbow new upgrade
Now to my new upgrade. As you know I've had cervical spine surgery which has resulted in a damaged nerve in my left arm, so I need all the help I can get in holding up a bow (or anything else) and steadying it. The size of your bow already helped me in such a big way before this newest design. Now it's even better! It allows me to hold the bow to my shoulder resulting in much more ease of use. I was able to put my scope right back on and in 3 shots I had her zeroed and "smoking" my target. Pumpkins are not ripe around here yet so I'll have to report on that later!
This little lightweight bow fits my needs perfectly. It's easy to maneuver and it's easy to load. It's quiet, fast, and pretty doggone accurate.
You've got my email...you be sure to keep me posted on any improvements or upgrades.
Thanks again Jerry!
