I have arthritis and it is hard to cock, and I think a rope cocker will notdo. So I need to know if their is a cranking cocker that can be used.

I am not sure if there is a cranking cocker to go with this bow, but there might be. It is fairly difficult to cock this bow but it would be possible. If you can find a cranking cocker i would highly recommend this bow.

I do not know of any hand crank unit for this. I use parachute cord to cock mine.

I think that cranks by Barnett and Horton are specific to their own bows, though someone makes a universal one that fits over the buttstock with a sleeve, sort of like a slip-on recoil pad for a shotgun. I think that one must be removed before shooting, but maybe not. The Horton and Barnett models install on or inside their stocks, with only a crank sticking out the side after cocking is complete. Barnett at lease has a design that lets you have the crank on either side of the stock, to accomodate Lefties.

Not sure about the 380. I bought the crank cocking device and have not used it at all. I know a 75 year old man that uses the rope cocking as with his 355 matrix. That's why I bought the 355 Matrix. No regrets. Excellent cross bow.

i would think you could. it would be awkward to cock it though. I would keep it to a short one.

Christopher, I don't think I would chance it. I have 2 Morkies, one 6-1/2 pounds and one just under 10 pounds and when they get a full run and hit the end of the tie-out, it stresses it. Not to the point of breaking, but these tie-outs all tend to get old and crack in the sun leaving the cable to rust and I would hate to see your pooch get loose. If I were you, I would get the heavier tie-out for him since he's certainly big enough and strong enough to hold the clip at his collar up. My poor little doggies' clips drag on the ground! I do hope this helps you some. Give your pooch a hug, they all deserve a really good hug any time they can get one! Christopher, I don't think I would chance it.

Rope pull cocking. My buddy has the manual cranking handle, very slow and very loud. Pull rope quick and quiet.

I bought the cocking device but found using the rope instead is much faster and easier. The cocking device is a pain to set up and seems to me would only be necessary for the elderly, kids, or a disability.The 175 lb draw seems like a lot to pull, but I find it to be rather easy and I'm 5'7 150 lbs. To me, I feel like I wasted the $80 on it as I was not sure what to expect.

Yes, that is what I use. I would recommend the type cocking device over the crank.

I used the included rope cocking device. It's very easy to cock the bow with it and requires minimal effort. I hope this is useful to you.

Its not that bad if you use the cocking rope and shorten it I bought a crank at the same time because I had back surgery few years ago and haven't had to use it yet but the crack is a good option also then you can do it no matter how strong you are

The one I ordered is no crank, chain rope by one side can pull up or down. Hope I answer your question. Joe

No, no cocking rope. I would never buy this crossbow again, even if they gave me the rope. Amazon was great, but Barnett is an entirely different story. After you buy this thing, you are on your own and can expect no support. Worst company I have ever purchased from, and I am an old guy.......

I have a beagle and he loves it, so your cocker spaniel would probably be able to handle it.

No "de-cocker" to speak of. I've used the cocker rope to hold the pressure as I pulled the trigger to release it.

Yes you need to buy the crank separately. Mine came with rope for cocking, which works good.

It should be no problem our 16 lb cocker rides with plenty of room. One thing these have a narrow wheel base and turn over fairly easy. We love it. it is well made very nice to tow.

Yes you can using the cocking rope. Go on You tube to and search cocking and decocking crossbow. It's easier than trying to explain with text.

Yes. It has an area to accept the crank. I find the rope cocking device works fine, even from a sitting position.
