Hello all !
I've completed my third crossbow in 9 months (in began the first one back in october 2016... It's pretty addictive). Now with the fourth one, I wanna change from wood prods. I was able to put a hand on a leafspring blade from a pickup. It's 40 inches long and 3/8 inch thick, about 2 inches wide or so. I'd like to make a crossbow in the 300 - 350 pounds of draw weight (with a goat's foot lever of course). What would you guys recommend as the length of prod notch to notch vs brace height and powerstroke ?
