To draw the crossbow requires 185 pounds of force to pull the string back 18 inches to set it. It’s not too bad because you stand on the front end and can use your whole body, and the string they give you acts as a pulley system so you’re not drawing that full weight directly.

But if it’s a concern, then they make these cranks that you just have to turn:

I’m not totally sure that one would fit your model of xbow. But it would fit mine where the butt stock is mounted on an adjustable tube.

MI hunter here. I picked up a Sniper 370 as a starter bow for the exact same reason. It shoots like a rifle and is very easy to use. Buy some good bolts and it's super accurate out to 50yds.

No idea about long time use or how it compares to expensive bows but it's a nice cheap place to start.
