    I bought one of Maryellen’s Maximilian crossbows. Beautifully made, hard hitting, and shoots straight. This video shows the depth of her talent and attention to detail. She was chosen for this video precisely for those reasons. Very well presented and informative. I highly recommend Swifthound Bows.

    I fired My hunting crossbow when I first got it at a target (piece of decking with circle drawn on ) in my garden
    It went straight through it through my shed door through a dehumidifier that was in the shed then out the other side and never found again
    I now treat it with a lot more care a caution

    I’d like a blue print of this bow and it’s dimensions. I do medieval reenactment and do a ton of archery and want to expand into making period crossbows. Do you know how I can get my hands on details of this crossbows build?

    I liked the crossbows I watched you make, real art. Do you sell such copies? I was injured and can't use my longbow anymore...shoulder issues,but I still want to use a period correct piece.

    crossbows where not the most feard medieval weapon i would say it was the cannon but the fear from it wore of quickly after the time of crecy

    • @masonmp1889
      @masonmp1889 3 года назад +1

      plus they had sturrips as early as the beggining of the 13th century

    Didn't show anything of the making of the metal the bow, trigger mechanism or loading foot rest, this just shows how to make the wooden stock which is the least important part of the process! This video should be titles "watch someone make a wood and bone stock for a medieval style crowsbow from a lomp of wood and several metal parts sourced elsewhere".

    • @PerilousPaddy

      Also the crossbow in the final scene is not the one we watched her working on, there is no bone inlay😠

      Humanely harvested camel bone. Is what I use for the inlay, sometimes, cow bone.

    The church banned all projectile weapons not just crossbows. However it wasnt listened too and the crossbow actually sucks at armour penetration due to its tiny draw length. Crossbows arm anyone and anyone can be very accurate with it. Doesnt take much strength or training to use either.

    Context to the church trying to ban crossbows...yes...but they attempted to ban ALL archery.
    Failed miserably obviously.

    I lose respect for people who “replicate” traditional pieces with modern power tools. It loses the magic

    • @m.vorburdwood.8354
      @m.vorburdwood.8354 3 года назад +5

      Wish I could do that, but, I can't and make a living. I am not a hobbyist, this is my business, and thus, I do need to use some power tools. I simply do not have the time. Sorry...
