Never Fire a Bolt Again to Unload
Winchester Archery is proud to introduce the New Winchester Dark Horse Crossbow with its patent pending uncocking technology. That’s right, never fire a bolt again to unload.
For years, hunters have complained that shooting a bolt in order to decock their crossbow after dark is not only inconvenient, noisy, poses a risk of losing their bolt, but also just darn right dangerous. A matter of fact, in some states it’s mandatory to decock your crossbow, as carrying your loaded crossbow from the field after dark is illegal. The new Winchester Dark Horse provides a fast and simple solution for uncocking.
To decock, simply remove your bolt, place the cradle on the bowstring, draw the butt stock pad out, actuating the hydraulic cylinder, and pull the trigger. The unique hydraulic decocking system provides a safe and effective means of unloading without ever having to fire a bolt without using air tanks, electric gadgets, or ropes. Read more
