Arm/Wrist mounted Crossbow.
« on: May 22, 2014, 06:38:34 pm »
Hey all so anyone who has seen this post http://www.primitivearcher.com/smf/index.php/topic,46649.0.html will know that i plan on making a Arm mounted Crossbow thingy. well iv'e been looking at the crossbow and assembled and taken it to pieces a few times to get an idea of how it works.

Ive decided to do a build along type thing as i think some people might like to try making it for them selfs. This is completely experimental and probably quite dangerous, so perfect for me. Here are a few pictures ive taken of it assembled to show you guys what im working with

The red line on the picture Below shows were i plan on removing plastic and atatching to a Custom FG arm mould im going to mount it on. Also the Metal prod is 80Lbs and thats way to hard to load with one hand, I plan on making a bow to the same shape and dimensions from FG around 20-30Lbs.

Here are some pictures of it so far and ill keep you all posted on how it goes. Any questions/Sugestions Welcome.






Here you can see two metal prods that pull the string back, they are connected to a handle. Below.






Oh and a FD pic for ya. :P

if you really must make this thing. follow the bottom of the "barrel" and cut through the handle so its flat, youll have to grind down the trigger. cut a slot through the barrel section for your first strap and another through the remaining handle. drill a hole through the trigger and make some kind of pulley system behind the the trigger. all thats left is a string to pull the trigger.

Absolutely!  From every angle too!
