Archery wrist slings, Bow slings and others.Gun shooting targets, shooting target stickers.Pictures cams on graph paper millimeter or plans would be perfect, thanks for your help. You and I know that the pulleys are the most complex parts to be produced! (Especially at 1/6 scale.) If so, would it be possible to send me the dimensions and shape of cams (pulleys) for I make them identically. I wonder if among you there are the owners of this type of crossbow. ![]() I just want to make the modern crossbow with fastest arrow speed ever built (relative to scale, of course). My next project is to produce a reverse crossbow at scale 1/6 Scorpyd kind. In France, there's little hunting crossbows users and fewer reverse crossbow. Like any craftsman, I have not yet finished the current project that I think the next! And for the next, I need your help!

Its production will require more than 500 hours.įor information medieval crossbow that I'm making a power of 15 lbs and a speed of 90 fps (640 fps at scale 1). The crossbow is equipped with its pavise (bulwark) decorated with illumination on calfskin parchment and gold plated 22 carat, its quiver (also illuminated) and its windlass with 6 pulleys also fully functional.
