Every season I need a refresher on using this amazing tool, but once I see it done again, it is EASY and EFFORTLESS. Highly recommended. I appreciate this video and the many others I have access to, by the touch of my finger, to use hunting tools/helps safely. Thank you Ten Point. Jackie R., Maryland
I have a couple of AcuDraw units, but I still carry the ropes with those crossbows. The weight balance is better with the AcuDraw installed, this helps a LOT when stalking. It also gives me the option of cranking or pulling to cock the crossbow.
@@troyw1000 Either type will work. The AcuDraw sled stores out of the way. I have sleds on both of my AcuDraw units but the rope I use sometimes has regular hooks. It's possible to be totally quiet with the AcuDraw, you can push the engage lever down just slightly but still feel the ratchet working. You should feel spring pressure on the lever, and if you let it go, it'll snap back to the engaged position. If you crank the handle like this you won't get all the noise but it could allow the bow to dry fire if the handle slips from your grasp. For me, the ropes are a backup. I use the AcuDraw almost exclusively now, but I keep the ropes around. I have a Barnett that has no crank device available, it's either use a rope or the Dual Armstrong device.
Hey wait a minute. I have the Invader and watching this video looks like the sled just retracts on its own once lifted over the scope. Mine does not do that. I actually have to hand crank it back in its saddle to make it fit snug. Why is that? I am new to Xbows.
TenPoint says fire a field tip arrow into soft ground. You can fire a special decocking bolt, some are reusable. You can fire the field tip or even a broadhead into a purpose made target. There's also a decocking tool available through a third party.
Looking to order a bow w/ the acudraw (haven’t decided which acuDraw at the moment) but can someone plz let know if one is able to use an old fashion cocking rope as well in the event if they wanted to cock it quickly or if the acudraw didnt work? Thanks!
@@budbohall8500 Apparently not. I just ordered an Invader X4 with the AcuDraw and one person mentioned, once it is loaded and safety has been tripped you can't unload it. I guess technically you could after you put an arrow in it to trip the ADF mechanism.
unfortunately you have to place your hands Directly in the line of fire just to remove the mechanism....!!! you guys fix that : and you got a customer for life☺️🤙
All of the close-up camera shots were when it wasn't necessary. Show me the way you put pressure on the string. Show me the switches. It's time to redo this video in 2021! Thank you.

same here
How can I decock the crossbow if I don’t shoot while hunting? I always take a target and field points to shoot once I’m out of the field.
Thank you for the video. To the point and well explained. After watching this I think I will keep the ropes.

@@noname47032 so you can still just use a pull rope even with the accudraw on it?
@@troyw1000 Yep, the rope still works as normal.
@@noname47032 one more question. Does it have to be the "sled" type? Or will the regular pull ropes work?

Just got Mine today. Love it So Much Already . Outstanding Guyzzz Godbless Ya'll 🙏 👏 ✨
Very good video short and to the point. I have a TP carbon Fusion and could not cock it manually if I did not have the ACUdraw.
Well explained, thanks sir .
It seems kinda loud for hunting or is it more quiet in person. I just bought the tenpoint turbo xlt 2 and haven't shot it yet but will soon
Do it in you truck or your Prius before getting in the woods.
Can you use a rope sled with it as well?
@@coachbeam3600 Yes.
is it supposed to click like that as it's cranked? mine doesn't, is it broken?
Some are more quiet than others
scratch that....
Amazing product☺️👍
I just got one and like it because anyone can use it. I wish you could back out the service string/let down, but other than that, it’s awesome.
It's possible but dangerous.

Is there any way to fix your AccuDraw if someone!! fires your crossbow and doesn't release it?
Yes, take it off and spend nearly $300 for a new one...
What if you decide not to take a shot after the trigger mechanism been engaged? How would you bring cable back to rested position?

How does this crank compare to the Scorpyd Aero?
Can we use with tenpoint shadow crossbow?

what do You do if you stopped cranking to soon, and will not fire ??
Can you use it to unload the bow ?

you guys fix that :

My only problem with the accudraw is....your chances of getting off a second shot at a deer is slim to none due to the time it takes.
I just don’t like how u have to put ur finger in the danger zone to remove the acu draw that’s very unsafe ravins system is way safer
I'm not sure if I'm correct on this, but isn't that why he disengaged it?

Well I guess loading the arrow isn’t important
fuck that's loud
too much work
