  • So called "Assassin's" crossbows have long been a marketing tactic of crossbow makers. These are toys designed for wealthy nobles, just plausible enough to tell a story.

    I always love seeing people make mechanisms out of alternative materials. Especially when the metal equivalent is so much more commonplace. I also really appreciate how 'low profile' you made it with that thumb release.

      Thanks! One of the big issues with mini crossbows is having a place to grip the bow without accidentally pressing the trigger. The top trigger helps a lot but I’m
      not sure if the mechanism is good for bows over 60#

    I would really appreciate seeing more crossbow content. Your videos are great, keep that way! Lately i whittled out a 1:3 scale miniature of the colletiere á charavines crossbow like Tod Cutler´s myself. It´s power is amazing!

    That trigger is gorgeous!!! Specially in times that fine metal pieces were impossible to forge!
    I bet that trigger is historically appropriate!! Is truly a piece of art

    I made my first bow yesterday and really got it shooting well today useing a sapling following your tutorial and it was so rewarding I'm really glad I found your videos and a new hobby it was exactly what I needed the bow is about 30lbs draw and can easily hit target at 30 yards also fun note it definitely would be lethal I hope your channel continues to grow and more people get into archery and bow making

      If you really want to dive in pick up the 4 bowyers bible books. Also see Jim Hamm’s books and Hunting the Osage bow by Dean Torges.
