Try this new BlackHeart Bypass rope cocker , designed with four pulleys should make the Micro way easier to cock. Not cheap but I found for around $30 online.

Looks like it takes about 10 minutes to cock the bow. :lol:

I tried it and wouldn't trust it cocking a Micro. The cord is super thin and it's a dry fire waiting to happen!!

I will ONLY use Excalibur rope cocker or cocking aids! That way if it breaks during cocking, it will be under warranty! 👍

It was a fault in the hook. Excalibur fixed Everything!

Well finally here she is! Other than being stout and hard to cock, this is a very nice little crossbow! It’s definitely a keeper!

I called Black Heart about there new rope cocker and they conferred with me if you don't get both strings the exact the will not set up both limbs the same. If you look at it closely each side works separate .

Thanks Dan. I may try to trade for a Micro 335 because this little bear is way too hard for me to cock! My prosthetic knee, hip and shoulders are sooo sore after cocking that bow to get it sighted in! I will have to think about my options because I don’t want to have to rely on a cranking aid.

If you offered even the riser/rail combo for trade for a 335 riser/rail I bet it would be gone in minutes(...to Jeff)
