I'm working on an archery project and would love to find a winch that is worm drive and hand crank. The 1" strap is the least of the requirements. There is something like I need at Harbor Freight but it's pretty big.
This isn't anything new. I'm just trying to improve on current designs. The part is called a draw board. The people that make the better ones seem to make their own winch. I would just like to have a work around for more budget minded people. The cheapies use a boat winch from a trailer but that doesn't give you the fine adjustment that a worm drive would give. Those also require letting a catch loose and maybe losing control of letting down the bow. I've seen some great ideas come out of this forum so I figured I'd try here. You guys may have seen something that may work in your experience. Thanks in advance for your time!
