It doesn't look like they come with one but you can get them as an accessory. X 2 It’s called the Crankaroo Cocking Aid and is sold as an accessory.
Eh...wot?

with your health buy one that you can get a crank on the bow for cocking it. That is so true and that is what I made sure of for the ones I have. It will help you in the end.I glad i got a hand crank on both of my.I learn to release the bow with the hand crank also.Do not dry fire any crossbow.For those that dose not know that.

I bought a low end Barnett and have to say I really had trouble at 35-40 yards. It just didn't want to be consistent, but hey its a $220 crossbow. I have seen first hand the Mathews shoot a 8" pie pan at 100 yards, yes 100 yards. Sure mine will kill deer but IMO you want to go out with the best equipment you can afford. Now if someone can consistently put them in there at 40-50 yards with a $100 used crossbow then all is well, but I'm thinking you'd have trouble. Ten points are manufactured literally 5 miles from my house, good company and great bows.
