If a crossbow has a draw weight of 260 lbs, is this equal to having to be able to dead lift that weight? Meaning like a barbell of that same weight?
...mr12guage...I do not believe that you are correct...the Excalibur Mega Matrix 405 has a 290 lb draw weight...using the rope cocker you are pulling back half or 145 lbs....NOT 72.5 lbs....the Excalibur Cocking rope halves the weight twice. So 72.5lbs cocking strength for 290lbs.
