Pretty good 'splaining.
My Excalibur has been one of the simplest pieces of sporting gear to get up and running I've ever owned, exceeded only by a shotgun. If I were getting one now, I'd spring for one with the integral crank, not available when I got mine. A crank is probably mandatory for someone with an injury.
Have my rowing machine cranked up somewhat now, and the rope cocker is fine for me now for as many shots as I typically take for practice, maybe six or so, but the crankwill be still used at the car when I go in the woods. They say it's more consistent than the rope but I can't prove it from my targets.
