DIY Crossbow and Arrows, Evolution and Action
#Bushcraft #Survival #OutdoorSkills #WildernessSurvival #SurvivalCourse #waldhandwerk DIY Crossbow and Arrows in Action: A Homemade Project
This video showcases the construction and demonstration of a homemade crossbow prototype and various arrows.
Key Features and Development:
Crossbow Construction: The crossbow was inspired by a piece of branch and has a draw weight of approximately 45 pounds, suitable for target practice. The bow is made of ash wood, and the stock is made of beech wood. A unique feature is a small ramp ("Johnson ramp") that serves as an arrow rest.
Arrow Development: The builder had previous experience with atlatls (spear throwers). Early arrows had a heavier weight in the front to improve flight. Collapsible arrows were used, with the last part of the arrow and the tip being used from the front part. An old paintbrush was repurposed into an arrow, with weight in the front and feathers made of tape. New arrows were designed with a hole at the end for better string grip.
Performance and Testing:
The crossbow has slightly more than 40 pounds of draw weight.
The crossbow is intended more for home use than for outdoor use.
The paintbrush arrow showed good hits and was described as a "goblin" weapon, potentially for stunning fish or birds.
The crossbow could be sufficient for hunting small game.
The shooting distance was 16 meters, which is slightly more than 40 feet.
This video is perfect for those interested in DIY projects, primitive weapons, and the ingenuity of homemade craftsmanship.
