Excellent review! I picked up the CP 425 Patriot from Walmart for $398 which included the power crank. You did a great job on explaining the pros and cons of this crank and I agree with everything you say!
That's great! Congrats on your purchase and I hope it serves you well. Thanks for the positive comment and for watching. I really appreciate it! May God bless you!
I'm ordering one with the Centerpoint Dagger 405 so I won't need surgical help. I can understand why you went with this dandy little item. I'm in my 60s and I worked as a Glazier for my last occupation for years. Before that a manufacturing company RV stuff. I know my limitations simply because I have surpassed them a few times in the past. Thanks for putting this together for us. 👍
This is a perfect video, I had cancer during the pandemic and can no longer cock my bow for hunting. I also love your ending. God is good all the time.
Sorry to hear about your cancer! For me it was the greatest blessing as it drew me into an intimacy with God I never could have known without it. I hope you are now cancer free. Thanks so much for sharing and for your encouraging words. I really appreciate it. Thanks too for watching and may God bless you richly!
Great demonstration of using the cranking device. Hope to see a video soon of you shooting the new 415 with the bolt setup that you end up choosing for your hunting purposes. Please keep us informed of any pros and cons you find as you continue using the CenterPoint. Thanks again.
Thanks so much for your encouraging words! I hope to put together a video in the next week or so of shooting the bow and sharing about my arrow choice and setup. Thanks so much for watching! I hope the video helped and God bless!
Thanks Dave. Good review. Glad to meet a Brother in Christ. I've got one on order for my bow. I already have an idea to make a wooden slab to hold the cocker when not in use. Papastor Dave Harbor LIghts Baptist Church Ashland, WI. Amen to your testimony!
So good to hear from you! Thanks so much for your encouraging words. I appreciate them so much and so glad you found the video a help! Thanks too for watching and sharing and may God bless you richly brother!
I guled my crank on with Gorilla glue at expands and it has been great. That way I don't have to worry about where it is and putting it back on. I just put the part that pulls the cable back under my stock and up by my crank then when I need to reload I just push the button so the crank spins free and pull it all the way out then put over my stock then pull tight to go over scope so it dose not get tangled in the scope. I also made my rope a little shorter so I have to pull my cable back about a half inch because I am disabled and cannot pull back my bow I have to use the crank. I need to replace my string it is starting to fray. I do wax my string on my crank and would suggest all to do the same.
Thanks for this video, I just bought the Heat 425 , I ordered this Crank. I'm just getting over cancer surgery and I couldn't get that last inch to cock it. Thank for the video.
Congrats on your new purchase. I hope you have a successful season. I know the frustration of not being able to cock your bow so I hope this helps! I too had sever cancer, but by God's grace he healed me so I know what that is like too. I'd encourage you to check out my FREE book in the description of the video about my cancer journey as it might be a help to you as well! Thanks for watching and pray that God brings healing to you as well. Take care and may God bless you!
You're welcome Matt! The crank definitely has it's place from someone like me who had limitations or and older person and it works well it just more time than a typical hand cocker. Glad you found the video helpful. Thanks for watching and God bless!
Keep in mind, this cocker is manufactured to work on several different Centerpoint crossbows. Smal problems on one model may be non-existent on another. As far as reaching inside the string at the top... after the sled releases from the string... just til the entire bow forward and it will clear the danger zone.
I ordered some 700lb kevlar line for my crank, just because I wanted a beefier rope . After a person uses these cranks a few times and gets a nack to using them they really are a must for anyone actually. These bows are a brut to cock at 195lb draw weight, and a bit of a learning experience goes a long way to an enjoyable afternoon of practice rather than a hernia.
They can be a big help, but as you said they take a bit to get used to. Thanks so much for the tip about the line and for watching and may God bless you!
Another tip to store your crank, is just leave it attached on your crossbow, just so the rope is snug, that's the next place your going to need it anyways. At least it's not getting tangled up, and ready for your next outing. No harm there just hanging around in your crossbow case looking like your taking care of your pecessions, should anyone notice at a shooting range, or out with the buddy.
Hey Dave thanks for for the sub and for sharing! I actually got it because the season was coming to a close and I couldn't lift more than 10 or so pounds due to my surgery (I did end up harvesting a deer like two days before the last day). But I suspect as you said I'll be using it more and more in the near future as the old body starts to balk a little! LOL! Thanks again and may God bless you richly my friend!
This was actually a really good demo of the product. I wanted something like this, but the finicky nature of the cocking device is a drawback I couldn't foresee before buying. Thanks, The Frugal Sportsman!
You're welcome! So glad the video was helpful to you and helped give you the information you were looking for. Thanks so much for watching and God bless!
I have the patriot 415,it came with a crank,my bracket has a slot on the bottom that goes over the stock to keep it level and from turning. And it seems to work better being back farther. And I totally agree with you about the sled getting tangled, I would like to see 2 hooks as well. I just bought a ravin scope from wyvern, and with zombie slayer bolts it completely changed the performance of my bow,I couldn't be happier, just my opinion
Hi Troy thanks so much for your comment and for watching! As far as I know the Patriot, Heat and Amped 415 are virtually the same bow. I'm not sure why they have different names. So our setups are pretty similar. We keep having snow storm after snow storm here in PA. so I haven't had a chance to check out the scope or tune arrows to the bow. I guess that will have to wait until the weather breaks and things get warmer. Thanks for sharing your input though, I'll keep those things in mind. I plan on shooting arrows over 600 grains for hunting (black bear) so I hope to do a video on that and tuning my arrows to the bow once the weather breaks. So we will see how things go then. Thanks again and my God bless you richly!
I think you could probably put a line in those 2 holes they have in the sled so you can just pull the sled back without your fingers being in the way of the bow string
Great video, I also subbed, I just picked up a Centerpoint Patriot 425 it came with this crank, I bought it last evening so didn’t use it yet but looks like a great cranking system
There is a lock on the gear as you turn it so that if you let go the string doesn't unwind. It has a release on it that you must press to back off the string. Hope that helps and thanks for watching and God bless you!
It's made to fit crossbows with a stock with a tube for adjustment. If your crossbow has a tube type stock like the AMPED 415 I would think it should fit. Hope that helps and may God bless you!
I just bought the same crossbow I’m entirely new to the crossbow I was wondering if you could do a video on his to decock the bow after a hunt if you get time I’d greatly appreciate it, there’s not a lot of videos out there on how to do it
I leave it cocked, put the broadhead arrow back in my quiver and when I pull into my driveway at home I have my target there 20 yards and the headlights shining on it and shoot, I have room for error, I keep a target tip arrow in the truck all season. One time I did this and found my scope got bumped somehow and went right 3inches, better finding out on a target then a deer, you get practice every hunt
It's really not an issue if you take your time and lay it out on the string you probably won't have a problem. Make sure you crank it all in when you are done so you don't have a tangled mess to unwind. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching and may God bless you!
Would be nice if there were a video on how to untangle this crank? Actually, the untangling isn't the problems-it's getting the two inside pulleys synchronized to work with the outside pulleys (spindle). I cannot figure for the life of me how to wrap and start the paracord to wind correctly on the inside spindle?? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Hi Kurt. Sorry you are having some issues with your crank. When is comes to tangling of the cord that is just a given and something we all just have to work through. Taking care when we remove it and place it on the bow will help reduce that issue some. As far as the pulley wheels. It may look like two pulley wheels on each side of the crank, but you only use the outside one. There is an outside wheel and and inside space. The inside space is only for a place to access the knots on the cord. The cord should only be wound on the outside pulley wheels. The cord should go from the one outside pulley to the sled, then back to the middle of the crank where it goes through one side and out the other, then back down to the sled and then back to the the other outside pulley wheel. There is no need for the cord to go in the space between the middle of the crank and the outside pulley wheel. Once you run it that way I think you will have a lot less trouble. I hope that helps. Thanks so much for watching and may God bless you richly!
Unfortunately that's what I found it out it to be. I have a long reach so it isn't a problem for me, but this set up would not work for my friend who is shorter. I did find that there is a Killer Instinct bow crank that fit their 405 boss ( here is the link on Ebay www.ebay.com/itm/202935855877?epid=27035059899&hash=item2f3feb6b05:g:NJgAAOSwmUNgW5YL ) that has a stock back plate with a mortise that the crank fits into on the end of the stock. I'm not sure if this would work for you or not or fit the CenterPoint. Either way you are adding length to the stock. I'm not sure that is helpful or not, but thought I share it. Thanks so much for watching and sharing and may God bless you and your season!
How much draw weight does your bow in the video have? We have the sniper elite with a draw weight of 185 and my fiance is afraid the crank won't work and it'll snap on us
Does this fit a centerpoint XT sniper 390 crossbow so if I would shoot at 0 for my adjustable stock I would have to back it up far enough for piece to clamp onto stock?
In the listing I says it fits most CenterPoint crossbows with mill-spec buffer tubes on the stock. So I would think it fits yours as well. You do need to have the access to the tube to attach the mount so that may be a negative for you. I'd call CenterPoint and talk to a tech there to be sure! Sorry I couldn't be more help. Thanks for watching and God bless!
I bought this when I was recovering from surgery as I wasn't allow to lift more than 10 pounds and so it works great for older people or those that need a little help. Now that I am better I use a rope cocker. If you feel noise is an issue though I would cock the bow at the truck and leave it unloaded and only load it with an arrow once I was at my stand. Chances are that you will only get one shot before any animal you are looking to harvest spooks anyway. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching and may God bless you!
my advise is to get to your blind or tree stand early enough to get set up. I have a headlamp on so my hands are free and I crank it back before day light even comes. Never has the crank been a problem with deer hearing it, if it's done ahead of time
I'm not sure. It probably will if it has the round tube with adjustable stock. Check the Amazon purchase link in the description for details to see if it fits you bow. Also look down below in the questions asked in the Amazon link as someone might have asked that already, or call CenterPoint to make sure. Thanks for watching and God bless!
has anyone tried mounting the cp400 silent crank on a sniper 370. it looks like the same bracket used on the open spool crank. unable to find any specs on the cp 400 stock shaft diameter size.
Good question. I don't have any experience with that, but maybe someone reviewing the comments has and can provide the answer. Thanks so much for watching and may God bless you!
If it has the tube type adjustable stock like the amped it should. I'm pretty sure it fits several models including the Sniper 370. You should call CenterPoint to make sure though. Here is the phone number (1-866-726-1122). Just keep in mind that you loose about an inch of adjustment at the receiver so if you need the stock all the way forward you might want to consider something else. I shoot with the stock back so it isn't an issue for me. Thanks for watching and God bless!
i own the heat bought it few days ago but my god, its impossible for me to arm the bow with the rope cocker, i almost manage to bring the string up to lock position but i miss for a little. Is it ok to buy this cocking device for the 425? or os there a proper device for my 425 heat tnx.
I looked up the description for the Amazon listing for the crank and found in the questions that it is supposed to fit the Heat 415 and most crossbows with a mil spec buffer tube that the stock attaches to. I would assume it also fits the Heat 425 if it has that tube. If you are still uncertain I would give CenterPoint support a call to verify. Their phone number is (866) 726-1122. Their hours are 9 - 4:30 Central time and they should know for sure. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching and God bless!
@@thefrugalsportsman thank you. Allow me to say, that beuatiful word you spoke about faith to Jesus Christ our saviour i agree, without the Lord's will we are unable to deliver ourselves from evil and go to heaven...
After cocking, if you back off the crank just enough to unhook the crank off the mounting bracket you can lift it up and over the scope and not have to unwind the cables as far as you did. Plus you can unhook the sled with a forward nudge and not have to actually reach in front of the string.
No problem. I bought the centerpoint 385 today for the same reason you mentioned. Going to shoot it tomorrow. Hope it does me right. I was really hoping I'd be healed up enough to use my bowtech but at this point its not looking good.
That will work too. Great idea. Just moving it back a bit like I did and tightening it down as worked fine for me so far and it hasn't moved, but thanks for sharing that helpful tip. Thanks too for watching and God bless!
Sorry to hear that. I do not know the screw size off hand, but if you take the old screw or the part with the thread in it to a hardware or big box store they have thread gauges in the bolt section that you can use to tell what size and thread bolt you need. Check too to see why the bolts are breaking as that doesn't sound normal although you might have gotten a bad bolt there might be something else that isn't right. Hope that helps. Take care and God bless!
Great video dude, the crank clearance with the string broke the deal on this for me. I'll stick with my cocking rope or bare hands, and yes cocking with your hands on the CP Sniper Whisper Elite is a bitch and a half, and ill advised lol, anyways, thanks for the bullshit free info you just got a new sub. Have a good weekend.
Hey thanks so much and so glad the video gave you the info you were looking for! Thanks too for watching and subscribing and my God bless you and your day!
I don’t care what other people think of your love for our savior, they should know that when you kill a animal that you should thank God/Jesus for that animal sacrificing their life so you and your family can eat. For me that was the main topic in this instructional video in praising the lord. The knowledge of the crank was very useful also, but without God and Jesus Christ nothing would be possible. Too many people overlook the obvious and go straight to the kill.
There is far more to hunting than the point of the arrow or the kill. Its about spending time in the handiwork of the Creator and so much more an when we do harvest and animal we should give thanks to the Lord for it as everything we have comes from Him. Thanks so much for watching and sharing and may God bless you!
A normal cocking rope is faster, but some people can't use one like when I was unable to after surgery. This review is to help people decide whether is right for them and worth the cost. Thanks for watching and your feedback and God bless!
It is definitely something you want to take your time with so that things don't tangle and the sled is removed cleanly. If you have and injury or had loss of strength for some reason it can be a real life saver! Thanks again for watching and stay blessed!

They do make a de-cocking bolt for shooting into soft ground or into your target

I Thinks so! Stay blessed!
When it tangles, how do you untangle
It's really not an issue if you take your time and lay it out on the string you probably won't have a problem. Make sure you crank it all in when you are done so you don't have a tangled mess to unwind. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching and may God bless you!

So I can't have the retractable stock all the way up? I have to pull it back a little and make the stock longer? That sux
Unfortunately that's what I found it out it to be. I have a long reach so it isn't a problem for me, but this set up would not work for my friend who is shorter. I did find that there is a Killer Instinct bow crank that fit their 405 boss ( here is the link on Ebay www.ebay.com/itm/202935855877?epid=27035059899&hash=item2f3feb6b05:g:NJgAAOSwmUNgW5YL ) that has a stock back plate with a mortise that the crank fits into on the end of the stock. I'm not sure if this would work for you or not or fit the CenterPoint. Either way you are adding length to the stock. I'm not sure that is helpful or not, but thought I share it. Thanks so much for watching and sharing and may God bless you and your season!
How much draw weight does your bow in the video have? We have the sniper elite with a draw weight of 185 and my fiance is afraid the crank won't work and it'll snap on us
My Amped 415 is 200 lb pull. So you should have now problem with you 185 lb pull bow. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching and may God bless you!
Does this fit a centerpoint XT sniper 390 crossbow so if I would shoot at 0 for my adjustable stock I would have to back it up far enough for piece to clamp onto stock?
In the listing I says it fits most CenterPoint crossbows with mill-spec buffer tubes on the stock. So I would think it fits yours as well. You do need to have the access to the tube to attach the mount so that may be a negative for you. I'd call CenterPoint and talk to a tech there to be sure! Sorry I couldn't be more help. Thanks for watching and God bless!
Serious question here, with all the clinking this thing does when you crank it, how in the world do you use this in the woods without getting busted?
I bought this when I was recovering from surgery as I wasn't allow to lift more than 10 pounds and so it works great for older people or those that need a little help. Now that I am better I use a rope cocker. If you feel noise is an issue though I would cock the bow at the truck and leave it unloaded and only load it with an arrow once I was at my stand. Chances are that you will only get one shot before any animal you are looking to harvest spooks anyway. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching and may God bless you!
my advise is to get to your blind or tree stand early enough to get set up. I have a headlamp on so my hands are free and I crank it back before day light even comes. Never has the crank been a problem with deer hearing it, if it's done ahead of time
I have the center point amp 425/ will that hand crank work on it
I'm not sure. It probably will if it has the round tube with adjustable stock. Check the Amazon purchase link in the description for details to see if it fits you bow. Also look down below in the questions asked in the Amazon link as someone might have asked that already, or call CenterPoint to make sure. Thanks for watching and God bless!
has anyone tried mounting the cp400 silent crank on a sniper 370. it looks like the same bracket used on the open spool crank. unable to find any specs on the cp 400 stock shaft diameter size.
Good question. I don't have any experience with that, but maybe someone reviewing the comments has and can provide the answer. Thanks so much for watching and may God bless you!
Amen Lord👍👍❤️
Thank you and may God bless you richly!
Will this crank work with the centerpoint sniper 390 ?
If it has the tube type adjustable stock like the amped it should. I'm pretty sure it fits several models including the Sniper 370. You should call CenterPoint to make sure though. Here is the phone number (1-866-726-1122). Just keep in mind that you loose about an inch of adjustment at the receiver so if you need the stock all the way forward you might want to consider something else. I shoot with the stock back so it isn't an issue for me. Thanks for watching and God bless!
i own the heat bought it few days ago but my god, its impossible for me to arm the bow with the rope cocker, i almost manage to bring the string up to lock position but i miss for a little. Is it ok to buy this cocking device for the 425? or os there a proper device for my 425 heat tnx.
I looked up the description for the Amazon listing for the crank and found in the questions that it is supposed to fit the Heat 415 and most crossbows with a mil spec buffer tube that the stock attaches to. I would assume it also fits the Heat 425 if it has that tube. If you are still uncertain I would give CenterPoint support a call to verify. Their phone number is (866) 726-1122. Their hours are 9 - 4:30 Central time and they should know for sure. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching and God bless!
@@thefrugalsportsman thank you. Allow me to say, that beuatiful word you spoke about faith to Jesus Christ our saviour i agree, without the Lord's will we are unable to deliver ourselves from evil and go to heaven...
Thank you and may God bless you my friend!
Just got a 425 heat, came with same cooking unit.
This fits the bear archery brand that has the same stock and frame.
Hey thanks for taking the time to sharing that info Mike! I'm sure it will be a help to others! Thanks too for watching and God bless!
After cocking, if you back off the crank just enough to unhook the crank off the mounting bracket you can lift it up and over the scope and not have to unwind the cables as far as you did. Plus you can unhook the sled with a forward nudge and not have to actually reach in front of the string.
Good points! I'll have to check that out! Thanks Chris! Thanks too for watching and God bless!
No problem. I bought the centerpoint 385 today for the same reason you mentioned. Going to shoot it tomorrow. Hope it does me right. I was really hoping I'd be healed up enough to use my bowtech but at this point its not looking good.
@@chrisanderson7495 I hope everything works out for you and you have a great season to boot! Blessings!
I Dremeled my bracket at an angle so it would be flush with the back of my bow and my rope would have plenty of clearance.
That will work too. Great idea. Just moving it back a bit like I did and tightening it down as worked fine for me so far and it hasn't moved, but thanks for sharing that helpful tip. Thanks too for watching and God bless!
Amen
Thank you brother and God bless!
What size are the screws, mine broke after 3 cocks
Sorry to hear that. I do not know the screw size off hand, but if you take the old screw or the part with the thread in it to a hardware or big box store they have thread gauges in the bolt section that you can use to tell what size and thread bolt you need. Check too to see why the bolts are breaking as that doesn't sound normal although you might have gotten a bad bolt there might be something else that isn't right. Hope that helps. Take care and God bless!
Great video dude, the crank clearance with the string broke the deal on this for me. I'll stick with my cocking rope or bare hands, and yes cocking with your hands on the CP Sniper Whisper Elite is a bitch and a half, and ill advised lol, anyways, thanks for the bullshit free info you just got a new sub. Have a good weekend.
Hey thanks so much and so glad the video gave you the info you were looking for! Thanks too for watching and subscribing and my God bless you and your day!
I don’t care what other people think of your love for our savior, they should know that when you kill a animal that you should thank God/Jesus for that animal sacrificing their life so you and your family can eat. For me that was the main topic in this instructional video in praising the lord. The knowledge of the crank was very useful also, but without God and Jesus Christ nothing would be possible. Too many people overlook the obvious and go straight to the kill.
There is far more to hunting than the point of the arrow or the kill. Its about spending time in the handiwork of the Creator and so much more an when we do harvest and animal we should give thanks to the Lord for it as everything we have comes from Him. Thanks so much for watching and sharing and may God bless you!
I believe so much goes hand and hand with hunting and God that so many of us take for granted. I really do appreciate you being a good man.
Thanks! I appreciate your encouragement! Stay blessed!
well said John!
Nie jest to takie piękne, mam taki naciąg ale używam klasycznego, sprawniej się naciąga i szybciej.
A normal cocking rope is faster, but some people can't use one like when I was unable to after surgery. This review is to help people decide whether is right for them and worth the cost. Thanks for watching and your feedback and God bless!
I can see accidents happening with this sloppy mess
It is definitely something you want to take your time with so that things don't tangle and the sled is removed cleanly. If you have and injury or had loss of strength for some reason it can be a real life saver! Thanks again for watching and stay blessed!
Keep god out of it
Putting my trust in Christ and having a relationship with him changed my life and it's the whole reason I started this channel so that others could have that same joy as well! Thanks for watching and God bless!
@@thefrugalsportsman that's the best humble response that could have been giving be blessed keep the faith keep him first
@@jsp9772 Thanks so much for taking the time to say a few encouraging words! I appreciate the affirmation and it means a lot! Thanks again and my God bless you richly!
@@outlaw7195 I think those that hunt and fish have the greatest potential to connect with God because of exactly what you said and it is a big reason why I started this channel! Your quote "there is no way to keep God out of it once you've felt and seen the beauty of his creations." is probably the best way I've ever heard to explain it! Thanks for that! Thanks too for watching and God bless you!
He did, you used a little g AND HE DIDN'T MENTION ANYTHING ABOUT THE LITTLE g. It's the BIG G {God} Elohim that we give all praise to my friend!
