this looks awesome. i saw a program where a man went hunting with different tribes all over the world and one of them had a crossbow exactly the same as this but the stock was longer. i would love to have a go at one of these one day.

well they dont disappoint as a weapon, thats for sure! they can be hard to get used to aiming because they dont aim at all like a gun, but it is far faster than i expected, and more accurate, too! with a heavy bolt like this one, i completely shattered a ten gallon bucket. i will post a video of it in action as soon as i get my camera working

Sweet, can't wait for the video. This bow looks awesome.

maybe it's just my eyes messing with me again, but it looks like the handle area (or what would be the handle area of the prod if it were a hand bow) is bending a tad hard? other than that, I have to say that's one cool crossbow. ;D

yeah it very well may be. ive never tillered a bow this short before, and it gave me one heck of a time trying. but it doesnt seem to be taking any set there, so im probably just going to leave it. i'll be making another one soon, and that one will be a good deal better :)
