A very cool crossbow..i suggest to attach some fletching (wings for the arrow or bolt) It will make your bolt fly much straight and more stability.For the arrowhead..try attaching a dart head.Hope this helps.
Best and simplest trigger mechanism I have ever seen. Does not try to duplicate a firearm trigger mechanism which is very complicated. I might try this with about a hundred pound bow. After that draw weight you'd have to make a cocking lever.

Change out the PVC pipe bow for one leaf spring from a small car ( tried a leaf from a truck --way too stiff ) use 1/8 inch guy wire and 1/4 - 5/16 inch steel round stock for arrows. they will go through a stop sign from 50 feet away.
***** I used some fiberglass fencing tension bars from home depot to make a 30 inch laminate prod for mine. 120 pounds at a 9 inch stroke. $10 for the two bars I used, and I like how its light compare to a steel spring or pvc pipe, plus I can add poundage by adding more bars (kept it at 120 pounds on account of a weak nut). Cut with hacksaw, wear gloves if you don't want glass splinters in your skin.
***** You sure? The tension bars are for those common hex-wire fences they use on baseball diamonds and yard fences. Check the fencing aisle at the hardware store, I didn't know they had that stuff until someone show it being used on the Arbalist forum.

Thank you for making this video! I needed to draw a simple crossbow and needed to understand how it's built first, so this was really useful. Video editing is superb too, you cut at the right places. And the machines at work, ohh so satisfying. Ignore haters. You did well!
I love the mechanism, reminds me of a Montagnard crossbow from the Vietnam war era or a Congolese one. However a clothes pin would have been equally effective with the bottom part taped or glued down. In the countries I mentioned, they simply cut the groove bigger and tie a loop of string around the lever while pivoting on the side of the dominant hand.
Your comment invokes some interesting notions, but I can't quite picture how to use a clothespin, nor to what end -- for the trigger? I had no idea that Montagnards used crossbows, not persons in the Congo. The field of interest expands. As a first ever look at the topic, maybe not so informative! Good for a basement project....
@@TSPhotoAtlanta You recess a cut section into the back of the groove so that the clothespin's top part pushes the string up, all while the bottom half is mounted down.

its a cool little crossbow for a simple project but I would avoid claiming it to be the best because when you claim it to be the best then you leave a ton of room open for criticism. btw crossbows dont shoot arrows they shoot bolts. keep up with the cool DIY projects tho its always a fun hobby
Well done, Scott !! FYI clear coat usually adheres better if it's applied BEFORE the final color coat dries (especially if you're using automotive type paints). Thanks again for your time and straightforward approach!!
A 60 lb pull is a decent weight for a light duty bow/ crossbow. The 'arrow' used in a crossbow is normally called a bolt, btw. This is a nice simple project, and saves having to do a bunch of unnecessary metalworking. :-)
@@janviljoen7001 I skipped through the video so I may be wrong, but typically PVC crossbows have fiberglass rods or driveway markers inserted into the PVC for extra power.
Scott, I like your videos. The bushcraft knife you made was awesome and the crossbow was even better. I'm going to try this summer and make a copy of your crossbow. Thanks for all the info.
Ight no need to be so angry, it was a sweet build, I know some people have other ways of doing things, but no need to go over the top with all this hate, yes its not a long bow, but there is No need to criticize him about it, just chiiiillllll out
“Went online and found pictures of a butt.” Just to clarify “you know the butt of a gun” haha. Great video. Never know when the wife is going through history.
@@BustinJustin951 you can make one that would be legal you'll just have to buy the bow online because you don't want to fuck around with that much draw weight on something homemade then take a large solid board and route a rail for your bolts, look up roller nut trigger crossbow, use the roller nut design and for your safety mechanism have a hole drilled underneath the trigger part not the nut part, have a solid metal pin go into the hole that you drilled making it impossible to fire unless you remove the pin and pull the trigger I've actually done this before and it works really well and is super simple to make
Nice crossbow. Advice to add though: if you make a string out of archery (dacron) string using a archery string making jig, used to make your string the appropriate length to fit your bows limbs, you can massively improve that crossbows fps (Feet Per Second) Speeds. Archery strings are as important to the bow as any other part of the bow. A well made string yields a LONGER life span of your bows limbs. Dacron archery strings have immense tensile strength with minimal stretching over a long period of time. Best archery string Period.
Great video, Scott. I have long thought about doing something like this too. I especially like the way you constructed your trigger. Simple but it worked so well! Do you have a video how you made your initial longbow?
I make crossbows using a 2x4 and conform it like you would a rifle stock blank. Take a car leaf spring and cut it for the bow. I use actual triggers from a rifle and the bow string catches on the upper portion so when you pull the trigger rearward the upper part tilts forward just like in the rifle and the string is released. With a wing not the bow can be quickly removed for storage or transport.
Gentlemens Edge Sir I don't know what car they came off of, the junk yard I pick them up from has them pulled out and in a pile. What I look for is one around 2 inched wide max and I cut it to length. I make the length of the bow the same as the length of the stock. I have seen bows with shorter and longer but this calculation has worked well for me so far.
MrAzrancher Very interesting. I'm going to have to try that. I go to the junk yard a few time a month, I'll see if I can scare up a 2 incher. Thanks for responding!
Gentlemens Edge In case it helps dept.: When I cut the bow to size I rounded them, then cut the notches for the bow string, smoothed them with a file and then used wet leather strips to cover the ends about 2 inches inward. The leather dries hard and protects the bow string from damage rubbing against the bare metal. Some trial and error results. Good Luck Sir...!
It looks very good, But you should try making one out of a car leaf spring as I did many years back at age about 15, Pull was possibly over 200 lbs, It would sink a 6 inch bold at 50 feet completely into any stump Strings lasted about 6 shots if I recall, I never did try range, But definitely it put the bolt out f sight and we never did hear anything come down, It is a good guess it could shoot over 1/2 mile easily.

that is not a longbow by any definition. it is neither: very long from nock to nock, able to draw to a rear of check/ear lobe anchored draw, nor capable of firing at a long range. any or all of these (most typically the range) are how a LONG bow are defined.

I really liked it. The crossbow is very well made. There is no fuse. You need to make a convenient trigger. Арбалет сделан хорошо. Нет предохранителя. Нужно сделать удобный курок.
Ok, now go for one that's 200#. It will equal a longbow pulling about 90#. Best way, in my opinion, is to make the prod like you would a leaf spring when using PVC. First, flatten the pvc out and cut off the edges and then continue like you would in building a leaf spring. Make the brackets out of a 1 inch section of pc. Heat the pvc up and slide it mid way up the prod on each side. I'm going to do this myself, very soon!
Not bad for 60lbs... try to get a more light weight bolt, then think about getting the bow limbs higher as the tail of that bare shaft test fire was up (you want it to be as level as possible). With a bit of tuning and fletching it could be a very useful and accurate bow.
Ps, my kid made a more powerful crossbow than that from kinex and rubber bands when he was 6. Shot a hole through my metal front door with it. I didn't get mad if punish him, I praised him for a Jo well done, then suggested alternative targets for the future
