It may have been mentioned before, but adding some fiberglass rods (driveway markers) to the pvc will add resistance and durability to the limbs. Essentially it should double the draw weight, if thats your end goal

I really liked your crossbow it looks really nice especially with the stain and paint job. Just a little bit of advice for the next time you do this .The problem with completely flattening the pvc and not tapering it is it will make it flex more towards the middle and cause it to either kink or split in the middle. So it's best if it's thicker and stiff towards the middle and gradually taper towards the ends. I have built both crossbow and bows made from pvc this will greatly improve the power. If you didn't already you should try to round the edges of the catch or the nut as it's called this is to keep it from wearing down the string. Finally if you want to get a smoother release the notch that engages with the trigger should be 1/8"-3/16" from the center.
@SkillTree4 жыл бұрын
Great tips! I will make the adjustments you mentioned for sure! Thank you so much for the help in this skill 😁👍
@briananuvattanachai66464 жыл бұрын
@@SkillTree no problem one more thing I forgot to mention screwing it the the stock might also cause it splitting I had this problem occur when I did something similar. So another thing you could do is either drill a hole through the stock behind the bow. Get a bunch of cords wrap it a bunch of times around the bow and in between the holes. Or you could glue another piece of wood in the front and drill a hole through the wood but, leave the prod alone. I have a crossbow pistol it's attached by there being a mortise in the stock and a wedge in front of it. Then there's a hole in the front of the stock which there's a threaded rod and you have to use a allen wrench to tighten it. But if you use a bolt it will make it simpler.

Great video - do love the way it comes together and the use of the plastic pipe to keep the poundage low. I was wondering why you left it more plank like than carving the wood down round the grip to make it a much more comfortable bow to wield? (and a bit lighter by losing more oak!) The trigger system is a nice simple design I wonder if there is something simple that could be added to provide a safety catch of some style. Shooting compound bows with a release aid myself and having seen other crossbows in the past, a safety could be a good thing!

O.k. so far I've seen 2 of your videos (new comer to the channel) and both were based on medieval weapons. But what about office warfare? Something that can fit on the desk and let your coworkers know that you're prepared (or maybe preparing) to defend yourself against any suprise attacks.. like a mini Ballista or other catapult that can sit at the ready. (And I'm not talking about one of those poorly made popsicle stick ones either, but something that will stand the test of time.

A DC 15 Con save isn't that hard to pass at later levels, and poison resistance is pretty common, and a light crossbow is theoretically the weakest*, but with +3 base damage, 3d8 on a failed save and half on a success, and a chance to poison, that's a seriously strong crossbow! 4d8 and a status effect before sneak attack is even applied! *A heavy crossbow of course has a bigger damage die, but a hand crossbow can be fired twice in a turn with the Crossbow Expert feat. This is more of an upgrade the fewer attacks you get.
