405 Cocking Question

Tim50 · Post by **Tim50** » Sat Jan 17, 2015 11:59 am

I had a 380 & it was not an all day shooter for me but I was able to cock it for sight in & hunting purposes. I may have a chance to get a 405 so my question is just how bad is the cocking experience. I have other bows to spend an enjoyable day shooting. Is the 405 just WAY over the top to use for just a hunting bow? Thanks for any input....

I had the 380 and now have the 405 not much difference to me in cocking them but the 405 shoots flatter at farther yardages

Get a c2 cocking device. I have a bad back and am amazed at how quickly you can cock with it. It's not as fast as a rope cocker but for target work it's great.

I find little extra effort is required to cock the 405 vs a 380. If you find the 380 burdensome, you'll find the 405 to be no better.
