ok.. was out at the range with some buds sighting in our compoud crossbows.
a guy shows up with a newish manufacture medieval 'style' crossbow
probably only an 80# draw.. and shot home made bolts that were 8" long ( dowel rod, fletching and metal practice tips much like wood archery arrows use.
the thing shot favorably at 50 yards!
I've been bit. got to get me one now.
anyone have an idea of where these things might be sold at?
I asked the guy and he got it at a re-enactmet fair years ago.
it's not a toy.. it really shoots. it was sticking bolts into our high density foam targets a couple inches.
I've no doubt it would take small game like rabbit .. and or predatory nuisance animals like yotes' etc.
