Is the bow operated with some sort of trigger action, or do you actually release the string?

The string goes through the handle which is pulled back by hand and released, hopefully after aiming at an approved target, not Gramma's collection of breakable items on an open shelf. Actually, there is one of the nerf "arrows" stuck on our top shelf as a reminder that even nerf ammo can knock down breakables. This toy has provided many hours of fun for the kids of all ages in our family. Have fun!

you actually release the string as you can see the handle is connected to the string and the handle has an end that shoots the nerf arrow! I have to say that a lot of bows we've used didn't shoot but this one actually shoot and have some range but is very safe and doesn't hurt at all. I've had my son shoot me at close range and it doesn't hurt...extremely fun! I shoot the kids sometimes when they don't expect it with the bow nerf...they run! LOL!

You pull back the black handle, which is attached to the string and let go to fire.

The hard part of putting the crossbow is stringing it. You need a strong person to bend the bow and you canstring it. The scope I think is a cheap one so I left it off the bow. If you are a good shooter, you won't havetrouble shooting it.

You pull the handle back on the gold string. But you have to let it snap to get your dart out good.

I would not try to tell anyone else what to do, but I don't like messing with unloading my crossbow while I am in my deer stand. Just put the dummy in and pull the trigger.

You can use anything to string an unstrung bow, even your bare hands with leverage... If you mean to use paracord as THE string, I would say yes depending on how much weight the string can bear. But if it's an emergency I would try anything honestly. If you want to test your "emergency string" I'd start slow by using a stringer to gently release the limb tension onto the paracord string. The knots you use would be the key factor I'd think. Strings can snap even with regular string, so just be careful and be ready for it. HA

It's what you rest the crossbow on while shooting instead of holding it. It gets heavy after a bit.

Yes, now that I think about it you can buy a hand crank to cock your bow. Once cocked there is no holding the string. Crossbow would be perfect as long as you got the hand crank. Without that the crank it does take some effort to cocktail the bow. Hope this had helped you

Being up front, I have not uncocked my x bow without firing a bolt, but it could be done with 2 people I'm sure. I am not recommending it, but if one person holds the bow string with the cocking device and another pulls the trigger... that should be all it takes.Don't fire it without having some resistance though, that's what breaks it!

Yes, the more weight you will have to pull as a bow goes up in weight. It is the Weight of the drawing of the bow when you are preparing to release the arrow.

I have had no problems with the bow itself and have fired over a thousand bolts since purchasing it. I did snap the rope on the rope cocking device in half one time but Barnett sent me a new one free of charge and the new one has worked fine.

The real question is, are you right our left eye dominant? If your right handed then you need to hold the bow with your left hand because you right hand is your trigger. Your left hand is an anchor to hold the bow only.

The bow works great. It's tight the first few times, but it loosens. Have fun with it!

It depends if your bow has a front or back mount and no the string deceleration just keeps the string from whipping every time you shoot. It also quiets your bow a lot if you are planning on putting a different kind or your bow go to the diamond website and order one from there. Mine is a Martin Bengal and it did not fit so I just ordered one from the martin website. I hope this helped.

The bow doesn't come off. I constantly throw it and drop it and pull on it, and it doesn't come of.

Yes it does. You simply pull the trigger handle and it releases the legs. When the legs touch the ground simply release the trigger and it's locked in.

Depends. It's longer before you shoot with it. Once you use it you will have two shorter pieces. Got a couple shots off before the bow snapped.

Unfortunately, no. The cord has to be folded in half and when depresses the trigger button behind the hook, activates the spring. Recoil will have a new version of the winder coming this summer that allows you to pull out as much cord as you need and "lock" it off. That may be of use in your situation.
