Hi, I am new here. My hubby suggested that some of you might be able to help me out so here goes:
I have been trying to find information regarding modern crossbows. So far not much except ads. I would like to own one, but have some specifics problems, the greatest being fibromyalgia. I know, therefore that I need to have a cranking device because I am not able to pull 150 lbs. I have seen one which has a permanently attached cranking device in the stock, but most seem to be ones that must be placed, removed, and then replaced. In this case I would be looking at hand strength as a problem. Are there more models out there that have permanently attached cranking devices?
It's not for home protection, I have my shotguns and a 9mm for personal protection. (In addition to aforementioned hubby.) To give you an idea though, I prefer to shoot .22's because they are not as hard on my hands. When practicing with the 9mm my hands become very sore after a very few rounds.
Any help on sources or advice would be appreciated.
