Hi, Mr. Osagebowman, how are you?
I may make a crossbow or 2, just for fun. I've found a couple plans for them on the net, do you recommend any?
Not going to make the prods I don't think, it looks like they can be bought. Same for the firing mechanisms, most likely.
Meanwhile, did the guys get many gators bowhunting? Wondering what they'd do with them - I suppose a headmount would look nice on the wall.
Morning Sam - I bookmarked a couple of the sites, both looked pretty good. Buying the prod and firing mechanism seems like a good way to go. Those old crossbows and the reproductions are pretty interesting weaponry. Still, haven't got passed the 'hmmm' stage though.
The gator hunting was a cool story, only got one medium sized one, arrowed a big one that just ran away with the arrow and float. They kept the skull of the one they got. That would make an interesting desk nic-nac.
