The Lock-a-Draw Draw Keep Details The Lock-a-Draw draw keep is made entirely of black anodized aluminum and stainless steel. All the moving parts are stainless steel for durability and corrosion resistance. It comes with a special bow mounted quiver that holds the Lock-a-Draw as well as arrows. Different rods are supplied to fit right and left hand bows. The picture shows the four pieces that make up the Lock-a-Draw and quiver package.
Lock-a-Draw Components |
Complete instructions are included with the unit. The rod length
allows for draw lengths of up to 32 inches and is cut off to match your draw
length. The release is glued on the rod with 5 minute epoxy glue.
To tune the Lock-a-Draw the rod is bent at the mounting plate to bring the
string catch to the bow string's nocking point, paper tuning is used to
determine the direction to bend the rod..
The
Lock-a-Draw mounts on the quiver as shown in the next picture. An
unanodized Lock-a-Draw is used so it will show up
better in the photo. The quiver mounts on the quiver mounting block at
the front bow sight base. Because nearly all bow sights
have the industry standard holes for mounting a quiver, the Lock-a-Draw will
fit any bow with a standard sight. A few bows, mainly Hoyt bows, may
require a 1/4" spacer under the quiver mounting block if the cable guard is
in the way of the quiver mounting block. Either a 1"x2" block of wood
or aluminum (or any other solid material) works fine. The spacer is
not detrimental to either the tuning or accuracy.
The Lock-a-Draw mounting
plate has the same pin structure as the quiver. The quiver is removed
with a twist and the Lock-a-Draw goes on the quiver mounting block with a
twist just as the quiver did. Your bow is now a vertical crossbow,
cocked with hands and feet.

Drawing the Bow to the String Catch
When drawing the bow grasp the
string on each side near the nocking loop and cross your thumbs under the
rod. As you draw the bow your thumbs slide along the rod guiding the
string loop to the string catch. Draw the bow with an arrow in your hand so you
will not forget to nock the arrow. (I have done so and nearly ruined a bow
by dry firing it.)

To draw the bow from a standing position a
foot stirrup is needed. This replaces the
