    Octavio, if you decide to buy from them, here's the link to the 150lb. prod:  http://www.thecrossbowstore.com/Limb-for-120LBs-150LBs-Hunting-Crossbows-p/mk-150b.htm.  The string and extra plastic tips are here: http://www.thecrossbowstore.com/String-for-150LBs-Hunting-Crossbow-with-2-Caps-p/mk-150s.htm. 

    I'm sure there are other sites that ship internationally, but I've had really good luck ordering stuff from these guys.  They've been very reliable for me. Cool

    Dear Friend
    Thank You very much, I ordered today the bow and the item of string and tips! Your help was very useful!
    At Portugal to find this material is very complicate and much more expensive...
    Best Regards

    Hi, you can search online or search by the video to how to make a crossbow, if you need some crossbow equipment, then you can buy it online too.
