How complex of a job would this be? As simple as drilling a few holes? Would it even fit?

Thanks in advance

I saw a photo somewhere of one monted on an Excalibur,and yes you would have to drill some holes.I had one on a tenpoint and did not care for it because it was to noisy , I like the Excalibur rope better.

Unless you really need to use a winding cocker, I would probably shy away from using one.  I have a Ten Point bow and the Accudraw system adds a lot of weight to the bow.  I use a standard rope cocker on my Ten Point.  Just my .02.

The acu 52 isnt a "winding cocker," its the wicked ridge version of the acu 50. I like the idea of having a built in cocking device and think the acu 52 would fit nicely on my stock. I hunt from a summit climber, which has a rest, so weight really isnt an issue for me.

Surely someone is familiar with this device???

If you install one, use the ACCUdraw 50. Yep they add weight but they add it to the rear of the crossbow so balance is actually improved and I like the housing because I use it for a chin rest when aiming. I have periods of shoulder problems so when those problems visit, I have the Vortex and Ibex set up with the ACCUdraw crank cocker.......just in case but I normally still cock them with a standard rope cocker.

Those have sleds instead of handles Moon. I guess you modified them...?

Never mind, went and looked and saw that Tenpoint sells them.

Yep, they are both the ACCUdraw crank cockers but I could have just as easily installed the 50 rope cocker. Matter of fact, once the stock is drilled you can mount either unit on your crossbow.

Here is an ACCUdraw 50 rope cocker mounted on my SZ 350. The "T" handles are held in place by magnets built into the handles. I installed a small steel rod through the stock to use the magnets.

I PM'd a ten point rep, randy I believe, and he was very helpful. In order to mount the acu 50, I would have to do some cuttin on the stock - which is what I was hoping to avoid. Looks like I'll be sticking to the rope cocker for now.

[Moon]

What cutting on the stock other than drilling the mounting holes?

[copperjohn]

I was referring to the big ol' holes tht would be in my stock from the hole saw.

Great photos, Moon.  Thank you!  Have you noticed any wear on your serving from the angle the ACUdraw pulls the string back?  From the videos I've seen it appears it pulls back AND DOWN- or is that not correct?  I'd debating between an Excalibur C2 and the Ten Point ACUdraw to put onto my Middleton DTM 330.  Any thoughts would be appreciated!
