I just got off the phone with my shooting pal Scott. He says his cellphone has a HD Movie camera built in so I should have some motion pictures after breakfast when we go shooting tomorrow morning. Hopefully, he will be able to post them to the internet and I can link to them OK. My crude device to check the cocking force required is just that crude, but, it appears to be about 10 pounds. I am trying to reach another shooter and see if he has a fish weighing scale that might work and be more accurate than what I was doing. I will be sure to get a photo of the cam and lug with my Nikon.
