How not to load a crossbow!

Post by acreek »

Wow! I thought I had seen most everything, but then I came across a YouTube video where a guy slides his bolt into the cocked Matrix 380 while looking down the rail from the front. You have to see it to believe it.

Yes, 2 days ago I watched a demonstration of a guy changing his string on a micro...on Google.

It was all good, but the idiot did it all without placing the safety on SAFE.
He had both his arms and hands in the "Triangle of Pain" with no clue. :shock: :roll:

He did all of this with a homemade stringer made from a piece of cord he announced was good for 150#.........( But, in all honesty it looked bigger in diameter and heavier than that. )

It makes me wonder Why in the world would anyone load from the front end and not on top?

His unorthodox loading method aside he shot impressively tight groups for such a long range.
