Hooks on String Cocking Rope

[SummitSitter]

This may be a stupid question...but does it matter which way you attach the hooks (on your string cocking rope) onto your bowsting for cocking your CB?

[hunt2sleep]

No. Some people put the open side down and some put the open side up. Either way works fine.

[Boo]

Either way works. But if you put them under, you can see if the hooks engage fully or not. The lesson learned to tell you that was no fun.

I know the most important thing is getting a consistent pull every time you cock the string with the hooks riding along the rail.

Try it yourself but use a fixed broadhead. Don't go crazy and just yank one side. You'll find that you need to try pretty hard to see a noticeable difference at 30/40 yards.

I agree with Boo using the underhook position so that one can see the string engage the hooks 100%. This is most critical when de-cocking your crossbow so that a potential dry fire accident can be prevented.

As close as your eyes are to the ground,seeing the hooks should not be a problem.

Ouch and he is not very good looking either (needs glasses).
