[QUOTE="LIK2HNT, post: 541068, member: 26717"] Is anyone else having problems letting down the arrow at the end of the hunt, or are you shooting it off into a target. I am thinking about putting my target in the truck and shooting it off with the problems I have had. Twice now in the last 4 months I have had a hard time getting the arrow to start its unwind. The lever to unlock the crank and picking up the guide to get it out of the groove seems to stick and then when it goes the crank was jerked out of my hands. First time it did it about 4 months ago the crank spun around and smacked the back of my hand creating a welt the size of a golf ball. Thought I broke a bone, but just smashed the hell out of it. Last week it did it again. This time it smacked the side of my hand between my index finger and thumb. My hand swelled up to the size of a grapefruit. It bent the windage knob on my scope, and bent the cranking shaft. Maybe it was just because my hands were sweaty and the guide was sticking in the groove. But it is something everyone should be careful of. You can not let go of the cranking ratchet lever fast enough to prevent getting your hand smacked. I am planning on sending it to PSE this week to get fixed. Thank Bill [/QUOTE]
