- The unit is housed inside the scope mount, which means it is an integrated accessory rather than a standalone add-on.
- Its main benefit is protection against accidental dry firing and easier de-cocking, but it does not change the crossbow’s core shooting setup.
- At $69.99, it adds an extra cost for hunters who want this safety and convenience feature.
