Not a crossbow… Also I was confused by the needlessly complicated trigger mechanism until I realized its because you were making a slingshot. Meh

Kim Nashley Lim says:

Hello! May i ask? What kind of wood did you use and how many yards?

Richard Peterson says:

actually I wouldn't nessisarily need a bolt groove. could just add a loop to the bow string

Richard Peterson says:

trigger is nice. I'd need to figure a way to dramaticaly beef it up. and add a bit of a bolt groove to it to properly knock a bolt. but aside from that, worth keeping in the bag of tricks

Rhonda Adair says:

Thank You for replying. I think I have figured it out enough. I am making it out of EVA foam. So far so good.

Rhonda Adair says:

I think I am going to try to make this out of EVA foam for a stage prop. 🙂
