Medieval crossbow

Medieval style crossbow

This is a medieval style crossbow that i made from playwood with a bow 
from a cobra crossbow pistol, it isnt as strong as the cobra because 
it only has about half the dra or the cobra.


It is made from 4 layers of 12mm plywood, some scrap steel cut 
to the arrow clamp. The stirrup is made from two scap pieces of 
metal the I wrapt in some cord.


The trigger is made from 2 layers of stronger "waterproof" plywood.


This is a basic drawing of the trigger mechanism that I used.
