  Having Difficulty Drawing Your Compound Bow?
The Lock-a-Draw Is the Solution.
"It's the only drawlock truly adapted to bowhunting."
(Dealer Inquiries Encouraged)

Cocked with hands and feet using the much stronger leg and back muscles, the Lock-a-Draw allows persons of lesser strength to shoot a high powered bow that they could never draw in the traditional manner.  You don't have to shoot a "wimpy" bow anymore.  Almost everyone can draw a 70# bow with the Lock-a-Draw!

The new Lock-a-Draw is the same light, accurate drawlock with all the features of the former model but with the additional advantage that it is self cocking and the safety is always on until pressed down.

Disabled Bowhunting

Aging bow hunters and those with disabilities often "graduate" to a crossbow because they can no longer draw their compound  Bow.  The Lock-a-Draw+ Bow Rest Hunting System is an alternative that lets you continue to hunt with your compound bow.  Drawing the bow with both hands and feet is far easier than drawing the bow in the traditional manner, allowing you to hunt with a powerful bow in spite of your disability.  The problem of holding a 5 lb. bow steady with an extended arm is also solved by the Bow Rest.  It takes the weight of the bow and your arm while aiming and firing.  It serves the same function for the bow that a shooting rest does for a rifle.  It steadies the bow, allowing a strength challenged person to shoot much more accurately.  The following video shows how the Lock-a-Draw and Bow Rest combination has allowed this aging bow hunter with arthritic shoulders to continue to be an active and successful bow hunter in spite of his disability.

Richard of Walton, NE: Received your lock-a-draw. Impressed how easy it was to install. Started practicing and it improved accuracy instantly. Still hard to hold bow at arms length and found a piece of 1/2 aluminum tubing from a cb antenna and used that for a shooting stick and it works great. Went turkey hunting and was ready but they wouldn’t play fair! Can't wait for deer season. Thanks for a well made product. Maybe later well order the bow hanger boom. Thanks, Richard  (4/8/2010)

Larry from Oakdale, LA: The Lock-a-Draw is a very good Product.  Because of the consistent draw and the ability to sight without having to hold the draw weight makes for consistent shooting.  I just purchased a Mathew's Z7, put the Lock-a-Draw on it, paper tuned it and found the accuracy to be astounding.  At 20yards I have to shoot one arrow at a time or bust my arrows.  It is not only good for old men like me, but anyone who wants to shoot accurately.  My wife has never shot a bow, and I let her shoot mine.  At 20 yards she missed a 1" target by 1". She is not into hunting and this was her only shot.  Not bad for the first time for someone who has never shot a bow.  Thanks again for a great product.  (5/12/2010).

Roger from Broxton, GA: Thanks for a great product.  I am a cancer survivor with both shoulders messed up.  With this Lock-a-Draw I am able to shoot my bow with ease.  I looked at the other Draw-Loc that another company sold and didn't like the rod sticking out  the front of the bow.  You would have to sit down to draw the bow.  Again Thank You Mr. Sandel for your Lock-a-Draw.  Its nice when you call with a question and the owner answers the phone!!  (6/18/2010).

The Lock-a-Draw Bow Rest Hunting System

Demonstration of Lock-a-Draw-Bow Rest Bow Hunting Solution

Even though the video shows the old model of  the Lock-a-Draw, it illustrates how the Lock-a-Draw plus Compound Bow Rest and Holder combine to afford a complete bowhunting system for the physically limited archer.  A drawn bow is very large and extremely awkward to handle in a hunting situation.  The Compound Bow Rest and Holder hangs the drawn bow out in front of the hunter with arrow nocked and ready to fire.  It also steadies the bow while aiming and firing.  The bow can be fired either with or without holding the bow grip.  Motion, which spooks game, is greatly reduced when you do not have to remove the bow from a hanger or draw the bow.  All the shots at the target shown in the video are from 21 yards.  Keep in mind that the bow used in the video has a draw weight of 61 pounds, much too heavy for me to draw in the traditional manor.

The combination of the Lock-a-Draw and Compound Bow Rest and Holder would enable a disabled person in a wheel chair to be able to hunt from his chair.  With a little ingenuity this system would allow many with various disabilities to participate in the sport of archery and bowhunting.

The Lock-a-Draw  draw lock and Compound Bow Rest and Holder were featured on "Discovering" with Buck LeVasseur on WLUCTV6, Monday,   September 29, 2008 along with two other disabled archers with their adaptive equipment..

WLUC TV6 Discovering Video

An archery bow draw lock (also called a drawlock, draw-lock, bow lock, or draw keep) is a device that keeps an archery bow at full draw, until a trigger release mechanism is actuated to fire the bow.  The Lock-a-Draw (Patent Pending) archery draw lock allows you to draw your bow with both hands from a sitting position (as in a tree stand or other elevated platform)  or from a standing position using a foot stirrup.  Coupled with the Compound Bow Rest and Holder it is a system that will allow seniors, women, youth, and the physically impaired to participate in the sport of archery and hunt with a powerful compound bow that they could never draw in the usual manner.  Furthermore, the problem persons of lesser strength have in holding a bow steady at the end of an out stretched arm to aim and fire is also solved.  We call the combination of the Lock-a-Draw archery draw lock and the Compound Bow Rest and Holder our Draw Lock-Bow Rest Bow Hunting Solution.  As stated in the heading, even a one armed person could bow hunt with only a one time assistance in setting up the elevated platform and Bow Rest.  Every operation from entering the woods and setting up for hunting can be done with only one arm.
