![]() ![]() I do plan to use relatively heavy metal tips on light shafting. I am not sure what the bow I am making will give me, as I am using exact dimensions from an actual bow someone published research on in the 1990s, and I found online. Todd, the lever gives you a 4/1 advantage, so in theory, the bow can be fairly powerful. These are just random photos to show various stages of progress. If anyone wants, I can do a quick buildalong. I expect to have this little weapon completed in the coming week or two, and will eventually post more photos and video of the weapon in action. Aside from the bolt materials (already had some field tips sitting around I can use) and two 1/'4" brass threaded machine screws and washers, plus the bamboo slates, there has been no special outlay of money. What is neat about this project is that I have been able to use scrap hardwood, so it isn't costing me much. Tuesday some bamboo is coming from a vendor so I can get the bow built and installed, as well as some cedar shafting to make the little bolts. So far, this has been a real pleasure to build. ![]() Having always wanted to shoot one of these little weapons, I decided to do a fairly simple project and build a Chu-Ko-Nu, and am writing a how-to article for Primitive Archer magazine. » need help contacting le musee Dauphinois Grenoble » Skane/Lillohus lockbow information needed » 400lb Windlass crossbow bolts weight and accuracy shooting high. » prod angle, and lever trigger for sale anyone? » Questions around heavy crossbow lath buildin » Colletiere a Charavines continuing experiment » 12th Century Chinese Crossbow Chronographed ![]()
