You can buy new lengths of prepared bow cord from any archery supplier fairly easy, they're a consumable item and need changing every few years. Its about time I replaced my recursive bow one as its past five now... As to the original poster, some interest but not got any immediate plans to construct one. They can be a big lary when shooting outside with them, as if you miss, the bolt can bounce back up off the ground and end up in unfortunate places... |

What's the bow made from, Ally? Ally can snap with fatigue and when it does the half length flies backwards with great force. Fit a modern fiberglass bow instead, they just crumple slowly. I have two crossbows, one I made in school, metal in metal work and the stock in woodwork. Imagine that today, 15/16 yr olds making weapons in school !!! |

I don't actually use them (swore never to shoot them again after the last episode :loco: ) You're right, i can't imagine the powers that be letting even the teachers make anything like a crossbow today!!
