In this video we are going to review how to safely discharge your crossbow using a decocking bolt and/or a discharge bag. And..WHAT NOT TO DO! I've watched several individuals come very close to blowing up their crossbow by doing 1 SIMPLE MISTAKE. Please use caution when using a decocking bolt or discharge bag, the last you want at the end of a hunt is a broken bow.

Excelent advice and demonstration! Although it may seem common sense, fact is not everyone discharge xbows in a safe manner and even those who know how, not everytime we do it properly...thank you much for educating us xbowman! 👍👍

Good advice for those that do not think! I always use a small target made from a small sandbag filled with Walmart plastic bags and painted camo. If hunting on my land I just leave it 20 yards from the stand and can take a shot from the tree stand when I am done hunting. I use a Zwickey judo point on the arrow.

Love the video brother. How can I safely do it in my house, I’m from the Uk so I can’t just go outside and shoot grass. Any suggestions

I always just use the cocking rope to decock!

@draggindeeroutdoors 7 ай бұрын

While you can do that, the bow manufacturer did not intend for the bow to be decocked that way. If something goes wrong, your warranty will likely be void.

I've never used a unloading bolt. Does this make it unusable if the ground is frozen?

@fishingjoe683 Жыл бұрын

I've saw someone do this very thing and it wasn't pleasant to say the least.

Ignorant question. Is it bad to fire a crossbow without a bolt?

@draggindeeroutdoors Жыл бұрын

Yes, very bad. That is called a dry fire and it will damage your bow.

@jacobstallcup8648 11 ай бұрын

You can break limbs

@thisoldjeepcj5 Жыл бұрын

So no way to decock without actually firing then?

@draggindeeroutdoors Жыл бұрын

Many bows don’t have a decock feature and must be fired to decock.

@proles101 Жыл бұрын

Firing is the fastest and safest way, you can also attach your cocking rope or crank, make sure you are pulling the string off the trigger, fire it and then slowly let the string down, but if you slip bad thinga happen, so its a little sketchy.

@draggindeeroutdoors Жыл бұрын

@@proles101 you're correct. The rope cocker method of decocking...I typically do not recommend for the reasons you mentioned above. Best to be safe and protect yourself as well as your bow.

Really good advice but you can't fix stupid that's common sense I know a lot of people don't have that anymore

@draggindeeroutdoors 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks, Michael. I agree, one would think this is common sense. However, there are A LOT of people buying crossbows that have never hunted and/or never used any type of archery equipment. We gotta help them out and make sure they know how to safely use these things!
