I have been looking for how to make an accurate powerful cros bow for a long time with no success. A guy that I knew decades ago made on in shop in high school & gave to some one else. Years ago I saw a man in eastrem whashington use a cross bow with a fishing reel attached and shot a carp then realed it in.

The chinese invented this type of rapid fire crossbow hundreds of years ago. It is called the 'Chu Ko Nu' or repeating crossbow. The advantages were clear when defending castle walls, in that it can fire more bolts per man. Its drawbacks were that they were comparatively weak, and had to be shot from an elevated position to be fully effective.

looks good but needs more power, dont use a stretchy like elastic string but its awesome still

thats a ancient type of chinese crossbow saw it on deadliest warrior the arrows r tipped with poisinous wolfsbane
The design is genius, but in crossbows or any non compound bows the energy is stored in the prod not the string. Meaning that instead of using a pathetic bungee cord you need spring steel or yew/hickory wood and a strong, not elastic string. Else your bow would have no real power.

That is why in the description i say they are not real crossbows

Problem is a crossbow like that can't be made with a prod strong enough for any kind of real power. For that you need a spring steel prod and that requires a built in windlass to draw it. Slower firing but much, much more powerful.

exactly, which is why the Chinese put poison on the bolt tips.
