I know many compound xbow companies ask not to decock using the rope cocker but is this make sense?
Why can't the rope be used to decock a compound bow?

I think most people would under estimate the cams power in the cam, and possibly loose their grip. I would not try it with my Scorpyd even with the cocking device. I do not recommend it! I have an old single cam PSE compound bow, and when I let it down it feels like I have to almost push the dang bow, then it rips my arm off! It never feels like that when I shoot it, just saying. Be careful!!

Some bows have such an acute string angle that hooks cannot safely engage the string. This is very common amongst the super narrow bows.
Some people just like stepping on rakes

I know the old tenpoint that my grampa has is not decockable because of its auto safety. There are ways around it on that particular model, but none I consider safe.

You can de-cock an Offspring or Katana no problem. ( just need to shoot a “ proper” compound)
