how long can u keep it cocked?

Bottom Line: the bow is designed to be in a cocked position for a few hours at a time that a typical person hunts. Do not store it cocked, but you can cock it at the beginning of a hunt and shoot a practice arrow to uncock it late in the morning without causing any problems with arms of the bow. Always uncock it by shooting an arrow. Never dry fire it, or you will damage the limbs.

You can keep it cocked all day and all night if thats how long you hunt.....uncock it when your not hunting. If you want you can keep it cocked all day in the house if you think you'll need it in a hurry.

Not an expert but you can hunt all day with it cocked. Best practice is to discharge the arrow at the end of the day. Bought one this year and filled both tags in PA. Top quality.

I've had mine cocked for six hours while hunting. That's the longest I've ever gone.

Depending on where you are keeping it, and possible weather conditions, perhaps a few hours.

I don't believe there's any limit to how often you can use it; you can use it every day if you like. However I think once a week may be okay. I usually leave it on till I get sick of it; but generally I'd say half an hour would be sufficient.

Our battery lasted longer than that. Like you said, maybe if you were shooting it non-stop in full auto mode it would last only 20 minutes, but in normal play it was just fine.

Timed 15 min, 30 min, 60 min or constant. So pretty much as little or as long as you want. There is a dial on top to control time and volume.

If you shot it constantly thru the day it will last about 1 and 1/2 days total

Yes... you will love it. It also will stretch a lot... so you will have to adjust it. I left mine cocked for 24 hrs so it would stretch out and then I readjusted it. It shoots better than any I have used.

I Don't know. I never leave mine pumped up but I suspect it will hold power for many days. Leaving a pumped up gun unattended is not a good idea. An unsuspecting person might discharge it not knowing that it was powered up and should a pellet be left in the chamber it could result in a nasty accident. Discharging a pumped up pistol (minus pellet) releases a powerful blast of air and could seriously damage an eye or harm a pet if someone is thoughtless enough to do such an act. Suggestion Don't leave your pistol charged just go ahead and shoot the damed thing.

Well. I didn't hold it straight on. I just used it randomly and pressed, all in one day for the graduation. But overall, I'd say 5 minutes if u kept pressing it and never stop . You should really get this!! It was so loud and amazing !!!!

You have to be rough when you cock it. Otherwise, it gets jammed most of the time. The problem is that when you cock it, if you do it lightly, the gun thinks that it needs another bullet to fire. Thusly, smooshing one bullet into another. Also, if the gun isn't roughly cocked, then you'll notice that the cocking lever will not return to it's natural state (towards the front of the gun) until the bullet is removed or sometimes you can roughly recock it and it'll unjam (doing that risks smooshing the next bullet).

Hi - Not that I know - I just always keep mine at 10 minutes. That's my way of reminding myself that you can do ANYTHING for 10 minutes.

The gun is cocked simply by pulling the bolt back in order to load the pellet. Pumping it up however, is another question and probably what you're really wanting to know. If you are too young to be shooting it, you will find it too difficult to pump. Most teens and adults should be able to pump it after a little practice.

Hey man. It cocks once for loading the denix ammo, then can cock again to lock the barrel to dry fire. You can pull the trigger as many times as you want with it cocked once or twice.

I use the cranking device that came with it. I could easily use a cocking device if I desired and I am 62. You are only going to get one shot anyway !!

I guess you could. Don't know if you should let it go for 24 hours. I've never used mine for more than 9 hours and have found that 8 1/2 hours is best.

Not long. May be 2 hours. I don't move it around and it is not an issue for me.

As in without charging for weeks then using it, or charge it up and start shooting, how long will it last? I will answer both. I have charged it and left it to sit for weeks then went shooting and was fine. NOT RECOMMENDED, but I have done it. How long will it last while shooting? This varies based on how trigger happy you are. I use it in my LMG and can play for 5-6 hours (shooting conservatively, AKA around 1500-2000 rounds during that time) and been fine. Good battery.
