Unsolicited Testimonials
And Feedback

I know that many companies that put up testimonials that are "purchased" by offering something of value for them.  I refuse to do that because I think it tends to hype the product.  I do not want to hype my product, but to present it truthfully.  The only way I have encouraged feedback is when communicating with a potential customer I have sometimes said, "Let  me know what you think of the Lock-a-Draw".  Very few people have responded, but here are some of the comments.

Chris in Ramore, MO:   I really like the lock-a-draw, it shoots very well. I have practiced 4 times from 10-50 yards and shooting great groups-shoot one arrow at a time or I would probably shoot the nocks off my arrows, my only bad shot was the time I missed the target. This happened because my arm got fatigued and I flinched badly when someone was calling my name from in our house, lol. I need to get the strength back in the arm I hold my bow with, but it will come.
 

Bob in Senoia, GA:  Anyway on to the Lock-a-Draw, I am very happy with it.  When it arrived I could not wait to shoot my bow with it, I mounted it and tried an arrow - big mistake, should have read and followed the directions - it was very noisy and the arrows almost flew sideways.  Then I took the time to read the instructions and tuned it for my bow and guess what, it works great, got a lot quieter and very accurate.

 Also, I see what you mean about the danger of dry firing the bow, I did and now will only draw it with a arrow in my hands.

 I am very happy so far with the Lock-a-Draw, I am able to painlessly shoot my bow and our deer season opens in 2 weeks. 

Thanks again,
Bob

Willis of Wabasso, FL in a phone call: "I'm really satisfied with my Lock-a-Draw. I'm shooting better now than I ever did.  I replaced the 50# limbs on my bow with 60# limbs.  It shoots much better, and with both hands I could even draw a 70# bow."
 

Berry  of East Freedom, PA in a phone call 10/8/2009 "Your Lock-a-Draw II is a great product!  Right out of the box it was tuned for my bow.  It was right on at 30 yards.  I'm going to sell a lot of them for you, I don't think many people in Pennsylvania have heard about this."  Vern's comment on being tuned right out of the box:  "That was a lucky accident.  Most have to be tuned to shoot right."

Greg of Redding, CA:  "I had a bit of a time with the set-up prior to paper tuning as I had to bend the rod a number of times to get it right. Once that was done and paper-tuned, I could shoot very tight groups. I don't hunt out of a tree stand as I had a friend fall out of one 20 years ago and is nearly paralyzed as a result. I was the one who found him in the woods late at night and just can't bring myself to climb up a tree. As I prefer to use the "spot and stalk" method, I found the Lock-a-Draw not conducive for obvious reasons. Just too difficult to walk through the woods with the bow in the full-draw position. I did get a shot, but missed and the "reload" process was actually comical. Trying to load the bow with the adrenaline flowing just didn't work very well. However, I knew all that going in and am thankful for this device to at least allow me the opportunity to get out in the woods and enjoy the hunting experience.

  There was a benefit that I hadn't considered with the Lock-a-Draw and that is how the device helped me overcome target panic. Although I have had this affliction for a number of years it had gotten better, but I still had some problems with grabbing the bow on release and also with keeping the pin on the target while squeezing the release. I found that after shooting the Lock-a-Draw for several months, and, now that my arm injury is healed and I can shoot "conventionally", I don't have problems with either. For that reason alone, I'm glad I found your product. I'm sure the target panic will return to some degree in the future (it always has!) and I'll use the Lock-a-Draw if/when it does.

  Thanks for your invention. I had fun tinkering with it and it proved to be a big help to my shooting. "
 

Dale in West Branch, MI:  Dale returned the Lock-a-Draw II unused.  He said he didn't like the plastic quiver mounting block, didn't think it was safe.  He suggested it should be metal.

Bryon of Des Moines, IA:  Bryon wrote that he is able to draw his bow in a traditional manner, but had hurt his shoulder and wanted the Lock-a-Draw as a back up for his imminent hunting trip.  He said that he did not shoot consistently with it.  "It is probably me as the principle seems sound."  He returned the Lock-a-Draw.
 

Robert of Depew, NY:  Returned the Lock-a-Draw unused.  He didn't think it was safe.

John of Haugen, WI:  Returned the Lock-a-Draw.  He couldn't shoot consistently with it.

Out of 141 Lock-a-Draws sold as of 10/8/2009, only 2 that were actually tried have been returned.  That is a testimonial in itself!
