Crossbow Bolts

That's a pretty sexy piece of kit there. Nice. Well done.

Some very nice crossbows folks. I especially like the windlass model, what did you use for the windlass cords?
About shooting it in your section though, be careful. My own crossbows are very low power using a cut down fibreglass bow as a prod. A few sums shows that they still have about the same energy as a Glock 9mm bullet and could do some serious damage in the wrong place.
Those bows are both able to be cocked by hand!
Right about the release though, that and the angle of the prod to the tiller are the 2 really tricky things about crossbow making.

Gidday,

Thanks chaps.

Got any pictures to share, Crite40? If so, feel free to chuck 'em up. More the merrier.


The windlass cords are the softest rope available from Bunning's Warehouse. Can't re-call what it is called.
