"Are we done yet?" hahaha......good for Linda for staying out that long. Mine would have quit about four minutes before that. Very nice Adam, looks like you are having a blast shooting it. Going for deer with it?

Hey, Dave... no can't. Prod has to be 150# to be legal.

I forgot about the 150 pounds. Hmmm.....I say just turn it sideways and say that you are using a mechanical release.

Nice enough job to get me to post. :) What material did you make the rolling nut from? How about the sear? Steel?

     Pretty slick! 8)  I always wondered how they held that style of cross bow.
Nice job! ;)  Next time tell....uh..... ask the wife to shoot from behind you so we can see the flight of the bolt. ;)

I have to say the sound of it shooting and then the distant tap sound pretty cool, makes me think of a rifle, defiantly putting this on my list

Now laws aside what could you effectivly hunt with it?

Cool stuff!

Dang, now that I've seen you in person, I feel less compelled to argue with you.

Well... no.  Not really.  >:D

Thanks, adb. Delrin is a good choice for rolling nuts. Easy to work, too. I can see the crossbow is putting it's spell on all these vertical bow folks. :).

I think it's pretty cool, too! It would be nothing with a steel prod, but with the self yew prod, it's unique. Needless to say, I'm really happy with how it turned out and it's a blast to shoot. Once you get used to the trajectory, it vey accurate to 30 yards without any sights. I'm definitely building another one. I'm shooting for 80-100#s self yew prod, and maybe a darker stock... walnut or cherry.
