Hand crafted crossbow
« on: January 16, 2010, 09:28:13 AM »


This crossbow was not bought in a store or on-line but its value as a hunting tool can not be under rated.

First, really nice buck.  The xbow is very cool.  I wonder what was used for a sight, the arrow?  And what are the holes and peg for in the buttstock?

The dark circles are only knots.  The wood has some flaws but has not warped.

I apologize if I gave the impression that this is my bow or that I crafted it.
