A simple home-made crossbow, of course, will not be able to compete with sports models, but it can be used for amateur shooting in the forest or in the courtyard.
And to make a crossbow out of wood with your own hands is very easy, and in this review we will consider the simplest manufacturing technology.
First of all, the master prepares the necessary blanks for work. First, you will need to connect the main part and the handle using self-tapping screws. After that, the master glues wooden pads on the handle on both sides.
The main stages of work
Next, you need to give the workpiece the desired shape and process it with sandpaper. And then with the help of a hammer and a chisel, the master makes a recess (bed) under the arrows. Nothing complicated, but the work is quite painstaking.
At the next stage of work, it will be necessary to make an arc, and then install it in the hole in the front of the crossbow. The master makes an arc of wood, like the crossbow itself, but it can also be made of metal.
Then it will only be necessary to make a trigger mechanism, and fix it on the main structure. For more information on how to make the simplest wooden crossbow with your own hands, we recommend that you watch in the video on our website.
