From the boxing ring to the woods, true power comes from precision. As a former world-class heavyweight boxer, I know what it takes to perform at the highest level. That same drive led me to invent the Vertical Crossbow and Draw-Loc system giving every hunter a champion's advantage.

What our Customers said
Bought the package 150 lb mini loved it once it came and felt it in my arms after only a few time out practicing i can now feel comfortable shooting 60 with a 2 to 2 1/2 inch group even with a little wind thank you Jerry for the best.
Then I got to shoot it, and DANG!
I got the pleasure of meeting Jerry in Nashville at a gun show, and got see one of these vertical crossbows up close. I was so impressed I bought one, the whole crossbow is just genius in design and so compact and lightweight, like I said I was sold on just the look and feel of the Hickory Creek mini. Then I got to shoot it, and DANG! I'm definitely a believer!!! the trigger is so smooth and this thing makes me look like a pro. I can not even begin to explain to you how easy and how great this crossbow is, and shooting it is a dream. I honestly believe anyone who shoots the vertical mini crossbow from Hickory Creek will want one!!!!

Compact, easily detachable stock and very accurate
Many thanks Jerry for taking the trouble to write and catch up. I am very happy with the compact, easily detachable stock and very accurate and versatile bow. My personal view and change to your original set-up was to put in two hand tied bcy string nocks to try and get rid of "pinched nock" in view of the acute angle of the bow string at full draw. The bow is shooting very well with those changes!

Wow, just 15 shots
You are a genius ! I'm now going to spend the rest of this weekend dialing the Mini in like I did the big boy "Original In-Line" and then the rest of my life mastering this beauty ! Such power in a small package. It's like a 357 magnum with a 2 inch barrel ! Wow, just took 15 shots ! I'm in love...

My Wife Won't Give The Mini Back!
I love this thing. I let my wife shoot it and now she won't give it back. I may have to buy another one!

BADDEST CROSSBOW HANDS DOWN
It was hands down the baddest crossbow I've ever seen and the weight is feather-light. I can say I was more than impressed by your brother.
CRAZY QUIET!
The noise from 20yds was crazy quiet and couldn't even see the arrow flying, I recorded it. Oh yeah already out to 40yds shooting 2 1/2 in groups like nothing.
You guys have a great product there!
Jerry, Yes, you guys have a great product there. I couldn't wait to see what the Mini would do so I went out on the back porch & shot into the crabgrass about 15 yards out. Needless to say the arrow vanished. I suspect it's underground somewhere. I have a target set up at about 50yrds now. My shooting pattern is a little broad, but getting better. I've got to concentrate on not flinching when I release the arrow.
One of my all time Fav's of all my toys.
Jerry , We got the Mini and it's amazing right out of the box!! I am just a dude, a novice , but I have test shot a bunch of XB's . The Mini is the Bomb! I'm a fairly healthy size guy and cocking this thing at full power was not easy. We reduced the power to low max (3 turns / about 100lbs I guess) and my son and I both can easily cock it with no gloves. It's no big deal for us big boys but even at the 100lb setting it was impossible for my wife and challenging for a couple small guys. I think 100lbs will be perfect for my son and me to practice, but of course I want to see what it will do cranked up. This Mini is probably one of my all time Fav's of all my toys. I've got a bunch of great toys... Thanks’ a bunch!

What a bad ass bow!
Jerry, Just received my mini. What a bad ass bow. You have out done anyone else. I have shot a lot of different crossbows and by far this is the nicest and most accurate bow I have ever shot. It is so easy and quick to reload. Most crossbows you have to use a helper cord to cock back, but not this one. Got this right out of the box and it was already setup to hunt. Scope was set perfect. I'm going to use it this spring for turkey season, and I can't wait for deer season this next September. Jerry you have out done your self, and have help a lot of hunters. Thank you and God bless you and your family at Hickory Creek.

I wanted to keep using my compound
I had to try something with a chronic shoulder injury I couldn't physically draw and anchor even with a light poundage bow so instead of switching over to a crossbow which was recommended, I wanted to keep using my compound with the draw loc I'm able to use my same setup without the use of my shoulder I couldn't imagine life without bow hunting I have been doing it since I was a kid if you are having trouble withdrawing and holding your bow or just trying to beat target panic give the draw loc a try I promise you will enjoy it as much as I have if you have any questions give Jerry a call he can get you set up thanks, Jerry!

Absolutely love it!
Hi Jerry, Just wanted to let you know about my very successful hunting season using your drawloc on my Mathews MQ 1. I killed an 11 point 140 inch buck second day of my southern Ohio trip. On the fourth day I whacked a big doe. Can't say enough about the drawloc. Absolutely love it! I also purchased your Mini, very solid product. Tack driver to say the least. Everyone thinks it's the coolest thing ever! Thanks Jerry for all of your help! You are definitely a stand up guy who stands behind his products 100 percent! Doing business with you was a pleasure! Very rare these days. Thanks again.

What a "Little Beast"!
What a little beast, I got mine about 3weeks ago. I have never used a crossbow before. Talk about light and works like a dream, dead nuts accurate, you will not be disappointed
This is one Great Bow
I bought the mini for the compact design and lightweight. I never shot a crossbow before, but was impressed with the bow when received and shot. Everything works flawlessly. As I aged, it was getting more difficult to pull and hold my compound bow. This is one great bow! Buy one, you will not be disappointed
Sweet Little Thing
I had bought the Original In-Line Vertical Crossbow last year, love it, and killed several deer with it. I just found out that they were offering a smaller bow than the Original, hard to believe. After receiving the Mini I have to say it is the sweetest weapon I have ever held in my hands. Now I am shooting tight groups out to 50 yards. Amazing!

I Need A Crank
It's (the Mini) is awesome but I can only cock it about 5 times until my hands can't take it any more. What a powerful tack driver. Th arrows don't stop in my xbow target. I've had to back it up with tire rubber to keep the arrows from going through. Thank you, Bill D, PA resident and archery hunter.
