To purchase the Lock-a-Draw visit the George, owner of Wilderness Archery Outfitters ________________________________________________ John from Westby, WI ________________________________________________ Francis from Halfway, OR ________________________________________________ Bowhunting The Lock-a-Draw draw keep, like the crossbow, confers a great advantage upon the hunter and greatly increases the chances of harvesting game. Drawing a bow in the presence of game often results in spooking the animal. Because of the need to be much closer to game, even the scrape of cloth on cloth or the scrape of the arrow in the arrow rest is often heard, and your movement is detected. Once detected you only have about one second before the animal bolts. Having the bow already drawn greatly limits the motion needed to get a shot off. This is particularly true if the bow is in a Bow Rest, hanging nearly vertically in front of you just waiting to be fired. The bow rest is discussed on the Disabled Bowhunting page. Aging and disabled archers often "graduate" to a crossbow because they can no longer draw their bow, but there is better alternative. Convert your compound bow into a vertical crossbow with the Lock-a-Draw draw keep. It has significant advantages over a crossbow for those who possess and previously used a compound bow. It is the ideal solution for the disabled archer. Don't let shoulder problems, age, or other health related issues keep you from participating in the sport of archery. With the Lock-a-Draw draw keep you can use a powerful bow that you could never draw in the usual manner. You draw the bow with hands and feet like the usual crossbow. It can even be drawn from a wheel chair with certain modifications to the chair. The Lock-a-Draw comes with a bow mounted quiver that holds the draw keep as well as the arrows for carrying. The Lock-a-Draw mounting plate has the same pins as the bow mounted quiver and replaces the quiver on the quiver mounting block which is attached at the front sight. Since it mounts on the sight, it does not modify your compound bow in any way. The bowstring is pulled to the string catch using a foot stirrup when standing or between hands and feet Disabled archers who lack the ability to draw a high powered bow in the traditional manner may also have trouble holding a bow steady with the extended arm. A simple solution to this problem is to use a shooting stick. This is nothing more than a dowel or slender stick that is held in the bow hand along with the bow to support the bow and archer's arm while aiming and firing. This is explained further in the Using a Shooting Stick page. The shooting stick is not practical in a hunting situation because it requires too much movement. For hunting the Bow Rest is the ideal solution. It holds the bow in a ready position out in front of you while waiting for game, and you fire the bow while in the bow rest. It takes the weight of the bow and your arm while steadying the bow like a shooting rail does for a rifle. The Bow Rest is described more fully on the Disabled Bowhunting page. Virtually all states allow disabled archers to apply for a permit to use a crossbow or a draw keep in their archery hunting season. A draw keep equipped bow is considered a crossbow in the regulations. Information on the use of the Lock-a-Draw drawkeep for bowhunting is found on the Disabled Bowhunting page. |
