Is it just me or does everybody w/big feet have the same problem??? When i have my hunting boot's on i have a hard time getting my foot in the cocking stirrup. I wear size 12 to 13 boots!! I mean iv'e seen smaller dog houses I would almost bet i could walk on water I have a terrible time getting my foot in the stirrup then getting it out Is it possible that they make a larger stirrup ? Or maybe somebody know's of a solution Any suggestion's would be greatly appreceiated

That's what Vladimir Putin does.
It looks like they have a rope going UP through the holes in the riser & a knot to hold it. (I'd use a figure 8 if I were trying it.)
It is a Vixen Bill commented on it in a post last year.

Thanks all, I'm considering a crank;;;;;; But i realy don't want to!! But this morning @ 5:30 am. i was at my ladder stand which is on a slight hillside and while trying to get my foot in the stirrup i lost my balance and if you can imagine a 70 yr. man hopping around trying to get his balance with a crossbow hung up on his foot then you got the picture... Probably would have won 100,000 dollars on america's funniest home video's Oh boy why do i do this to myself I guess i love once i get in the stand ..... And watch the sun come up through the tree's & the wood's come to life

I believe I've read where Dan Miller has installed the TenPoint crank that's built into the stock for some Excalibur owners.
Maybe someone can tell us if I'm right.
