One more question, if I can. I have a very heavy crossbow build I am now beginning to plan and execute, and plan to reenforce the front and back of the rolling nut socket with, I think, bone. But I was wondering what others might use, or something comporable to this. One material that comes to mind is horn, such as you can get in fairly heavy blocks from some vendors. Would horn be a viable material? For this one, I plan to construct the socket as a seperate unit and mortise it into the bow from above. I'm wondering what type of bone would be large enough to cut blocks that will then become the front and back reenforcement components, from a big animal, I presume. I expect to make this nut 1.5" OD, instead of my usual 1.25"
I'd like to avoid metal, but other materials are on the table.
The nut horns / ears are going to be reenforced with steel pins, as well. I like to think of this a the Brinks Armor Car cautionary approach.
Thanks in advance, fellow armbrusters.
