Do you use cocking aids for your bow?

Nope

Yes, because when I bought my 10 point they sent some material that said that was the way to get the best accuracy with it; not being a believer I spent some time testing that, and they were right.I built and shot crossbows in compitition before they were available commerically and it was quite a suprise to me but if you look close you can see why, although I am not sure that any of the other brands would qualify that way.

I heartily agree with the purchase of a cocking aid, even if it is the simple nylon straps and hooks from Horton. I bought a TL-4 with the Accu-draw 50 because I like the way it works quickly and requires to additional pieces like the 100 does (crank handle). I am only 34 and 6'4" 240# and while cocking my TL-4 is easy enough what I like about the aids is they make practice more comfortable and they are safer while cocking ina treestand. I work for a Horton and Ten Point dealer. I can tell you that after assembling 5-10 bows in a morning and then sighting them in you are GRATEFUL for the aids.

I honestly think that at least 50% of the bows we sell that DON'T have aids on them come back within a month and get aids put on them or the owners sell them and buy new bows with the aids already on them!

I bought my first crossbow this year after almost 30 years of bow hunting and Im really looking forward is using it in the field next year ..I have practiced with it some and just now getting somewhat comfortable shooting it ... I bought a Parker MAgnum and it came with a cocking aid and I do use it.
