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.

Then I got to shoot it, and DANG!
I got the pleasure of meeting Jerry in Nashville at a gun show, and got see one of these vertical crossbows up close. I was so impressed I bought one, the whole crossbow is just genius in design and so compact and lightweight, like I said I was sold on just the look and feel of the Hickory Creek mini. Then I got to shoot it, and DANG! I'm definitely a believer!!! the trigger is so smooth and this thing makes me look like a pro. I can not even begin to explain to you how easy and how great this crossbow is, and shooting it
is a dream. I honestly believe anyone who shoots the vertical mini crossbow from Hickory Creek will want one!!!!
