Crossbow, not quite primitive enough!

Nice job!  Do you draw it with a hook pull?  I should find one for my bow hunter education class to help my student be legal in other states!  In Colorado, they are only legal in the rifle season for big game!  Like that scope and mount!

Nah, just put the butt on my belly and heave the string back... I may be an old git but the stomach muscles are still pretty good ::) It's a bit hard on the fingers, so for a days shooting I may need gloves.
I think a stirrup makes it cumbersome and is just asking to rick your back.

With a lighter bolt it gets over 200 fps, but having seen the limb vibration in slo mo' I think it's prob' going to be more durable with the heavier ones.
If I get into it I may make a maple f/glass prod, which I'm sure would be much faster and take a longer draw from a shorter limb.
I'll see how this one goes.
Just did a quick comparison while sighting it up.

Personally I would paint it black, but otherwise very cool looking weapon.
