does it have a hand crank to cock it with, if a youth wanted to use it.

No,this is not a crossbow for youths,if your not strong enought to cock it by hand-leave it alone!This IS a deadly weapon!
1077128
It does not have one. It is not good for youth. It is heavy and strong. And a lot to know about it!

no it does not but you can buy an aftermarket one crank for about 120 bucks you can get a really cheaply made cran for like 80 bucks or less

My son is ten and he is fine with it. He initially had some problems cocking it, but learned that. I think much younger and there may be some difficulty cocking be able to cock it.

not that I know of, It is hard to cock, but surprisingly powerful. arrows suck. I would look at one withe the cams/pully system

No, no handles, but it does have indented finger grips that make it easy to grip and turn unless it is very full. Then it's heavy enough that you need to put some muscle into it.

unless you're doing a lot of target practice the hand cocking mechanism works finebut they say that the cranking mechanism give you a little more accuracy I don't have one but I'm drilling at 45 yardsmy 10 year old son at 40 yards does bullseye

Should not be a problem for an average 15 year old to cock. Easiest way is to put the stock on your foot and pull the cocking lever down until it is cocked.

For a fully functional male adult, no.But for my 6 year old nephew, he couldn't come close. (was just letting him target practice under supervision)It takes a decent amount of force, but should be no issue for a teen and up. Cocking the slide over and over again doesn't tire me out at all.

I suppose, it depends on the six yr old, and even the parent... It's kind of big, the cocking action takes a bit of an effort, the power of the gun could seem considerable. I wouldn't have given it to my 10 yr-old at 6, but that's just me...

No it doesn't have a hand crank. It's all electric but it makes ice cream fast and delicious!

Yes it does. It has a nice sized handle with blue and red arrows so that you do not crank in the wrong direction.

Yes it does but beware that it only comes with limited weight.probably meant for teenagers or small framed person.

The cocking mechanism might be too hard for him. They do include a tool to make it easier (it acts kind of like a pully so it multiplies your force) but it depends upon how strong he is. If he's on the small side it might be a problem.

You need to order the cocking device...It can be cocked with your hands ,but you need to workout everyday.....

Yes. We use it for our youth group and we are pretty rough on it. It's really nice.

If it is charged up yes it does.. I like mine. The only thing that could be better is the handle isn't very strong, it's great if you don't let kids treat it rough.

No, it does not have a handle but it is pretty easy for the child to manipulate.

No, it is hand cranked. It might be have difficulty cutting out a bad clump of roots in your sewer line, but it is a champ for dislodging sludge buildup and restoring flow through a slow or plugged sewer line.
