I guess you are right in most cases. That's what I thought.
Quote:
All of them can be done, but with varying degrees of danger.
With rope cocking aids:
Excalibur, Horton, Barnett do not have anti-dry-fire systems, so no problem. Hang on tightly.
Parker, Ten Point need to have an arrow loaded to allow the trigger to disengage, so in order to uncock them you have to have an arrow (or more accurately, a piece of an arrow) in the mechanism. EXTREMELY UNSAFE in the event that something lets go - you get an arrow through the foot. Don't try it on these bows that have the anti-dry-fire mechanisms.
With cranks: Not recommended on any bow, since you have to disengage the ratchet and if your hand slips, bad things will happen.

Though or the rope cocking aids, it seems like a two person job. 150# is a lot to hold on to with one hand.
