I really enjoyed using Darryl's crossbow at NAAMA. Do we have a source of crossbows that are legal for combat archery? Something that looks period would also be cool.
I'd even be interested in making something, though I assume the mechanism is the hardest bit to make.
Also came across this site while browsing the internet and throught the crossbows looked very nice.

I am starting to make a few hopefully done in time for Taupo. Will be the equivalent of a 30lb bow. I am taking orders now, but may have one or two available at taupo for sale.

Dave Smith has made a couple... I'm going to look at getting one for my War of the Roses or Burgundian interpretation for next year...
