Im going to copy this design for my 150lb crossbow. Thanks for posting.

hey
VERRRYYYYYYYYY NICELY DONE, can you please make a video on how to attatch the stings?
Thank you

very nicely built crossbows! i am thinking about building one myself, but i am not sure wich kind of pulleys to use. you have any recommendations? thanks in advance =).
btw, i am from brazil too =P. im only writing in english coz of possible other viewers wondering about the pulleys too.

@shervin814 dude, I had to pay only for the fiberglass, the string and some screws, which sum less than 30 dollars... the other parts come from scrap material from the workshop where I was working in the crossbow

how much did this all cost you?

@lockpick92 in bows the excentric pulleys also increase a lot of the strenght in the way to the full draw, having a massive drop by the end, right?
in crossbows, as the trigger holds the string, obviusly, I projected the pulley so as it cocked just before that drop, hence, I have more strenght derivered to the bolt during the shot, thus increasing it's aceleration, so as to have a higher final speed...
about the bow, fiberglass has a higher response and lower density, so it's better than steel.
where did you salvage the hooks from?? DO NOT USE BUNGIE CORD HOOKS YOUVE BEEN WARNED!!

@vinosd773 ddude, they are regular pulleys, probably to be used in constructions sites or in a roof clothesline. Of course nobody would use bungie cord hooks, afterall you need a pulley!

Where did u get the plans for building it. What books should I look for to create one?

@zprify no plans, no blueprints man, did it all by myself, improved it from the mistakes I did in the first one

Great crossbow. Why did you move from centric to eccentric pulleys?

@borat6363 eccentric pulleys will increase the string acceleration during the shot! Cams work similar to that, but they are pretty expensive... Pulleys can be easily turned
