Restored this Hmong crossbow of Vietnam/Lao/Thailand/Yunan
simple lever that just flicks the string up
possibly a stone age invention

Hamish:
Nice video Jack. Cool little bows.

How is the bow fixed to the stock?

bowman123:
Hi Hamish,
there is a slot and you just insert it inside. if it fits perfect it will fit.
the tension of the bowstring will prevent if from wiggling
the draw weight is around 50lbs so doesnt need lashings
