It showed in the video decocking with the crank but in the photos it states on the mounting hardware . Warning DO NOT DECOCK WITH CRANK ! What gives >
just like the old crank it free wheels so it could run away on you. Guessing just covering their butts.

Is there a price point for this yet?

WOW! Everything archery equipment has become completely unreasonable. It may be time to get back to playing with rifles! :evil:

Yeah I like what I'm seeing but will wait and hear a few reviews from actual users before I take the plunge. David said he would have them on his site for pre-order by next week but did not tell me the price.

I got to play with it. Snaps on the bow simple. Off with press of a button. Rest is already said. cranks smooth easy. The wrist strap is great insurance for your knuckles.
I'm with you Paul the price is crazy if it sells for that.

How does the physical weight compare to the C2?

What sells me is that it is silent. I like my C2 crank but the noise deters me from using it in the stand. I will be adding this to my "must buy" list for next year.

When I purchased my Matrix 380 and I might add I love it, I was a little concerned about Excalibur and all the competition out there with faster more inovative bows. This crank will keep Excalibur alive for some time to come. One would think that the company with the highest poundage bows would have a best in class crank system. Well now I think they do.

Will this work on the micro suppressor and the matrix bulldog 380?

Thanks,

Turn off the ratchet and hold on to the handle and it is quite. Flip the ratchet lever back on before letting go of the handle. I was doing this a month after having rotator cuff surgery in a blind with my cranking arm still in a sling. If you have "fumble fingers" do no attempt this as it can bite.
