Cocking a crossbow involves putting your foot on the stirrup and pulling the string until it goes into the cocked position.
What many people do not realize, is that if the string is not cocked evenly, then the crossbow will not shoot as accurately as it should.
Since most people have a dominant, stronger arm, it is easy to cock the crossbow a little bit off center.
Because of this, it is best to use a crossbow cocking device, such as a string cocker. String cockers also reduce the amount of pull you have on the bow, making it easier to cock.
There are also crank cockers which even further reduce the amount of pull and these are great options for people that may not be strong enough to cock their own crossbow.
