Hi "Xbow-makers"!
I build this about a year ago. I used oak, nut wood and cow bones for the inlay etc.








It's about 13lbs... no mistiping, no yoke, it's LARP crossbow... so we shoot each other....
Update: Ahh I see there is a LARP topic too... but my one looks more like a 'real' one, so maybe can stay here... I hope.
Do anybody have museum photos, drawings, period illustrations about late 16, early 17th. century crossbows, like this(it's not my build!!!!!!)???? I may interested to buid a similar one... real ~600-900 lbs...
