my 2nd folding crossbow project. the 1st one was similar but too big.I will post a video of this one in action as soon as it is safe to do so.I am presently working on scuff plates,an adjustable butt and a foot claw\stirrup.

@Torcika - no,these were fibre glass, my new ones have recurve.

nice would be better if you showed how it unfolds

[faniboz1]

@NitroNein - I will show it soon being unfolded and tested. it is fairly simple though.

@faniboz1

are the hinges door hinge type?

[faniboz1]

@NitroNein - yes they are,brass cupboard hinges that I have since shaped a bit more decoratively and polished up.

@Cientista25: There are already self-cocking crossbows on the market. Look into the Twinbow.
