Crossbow Triggers,sketches and ideas

some basic trigger designs to hopefully help out home crossbow builders.the video was taken using a small camera so the sound quality isn't very good.if you have any questions,please leave a comment or private message me.I've also made 4 custom crossbows each with different styles of trigger that worked consistently.If anyone has any better ideas,please let me know.

Good work on the design.. will you be posting the plans and a build log anywhere? there are only a few designs about ..yours is good... davereap

@davereap I don't have any plans as such,I had a rough idea of what to build before I started.If you need help,sent me a private message.The most I have is lots of little drawings,doodles+sketches.I've sent a few people an email with some info.

what is the c section alluminium frow BandQ exactly meant to be for ? i'm gonna go and get some. thanks lee

@lpilk2007 - if you look at the small 3D drawing of the release,it has a bend so it looks C shaped from the side, it doesn't need to be that shape, you can make it with a flat back and it will still work, you could use a pipe bender to put a slight bend in it,but it isn't neccesary.

Sean Connery makes a great crossbow trigger

@faniboz1 i was thinking about making the housing for the trigger out of it .

[lpilk2007]

thanks for that .. i can tell by your triggers and the job that you do that you are very skilled in that sort of tiny metal working. whereas i am a bricklayer by trade and my tollerances are far greater than yours ...lol. To make such a small trigger with the coil spring is way beyond my skill level i think . I will take a chance on trying to make a trigger like the pistol one for my next project i think.
