Hey guys, new member here, i thought id introduce myself here since there doesn't seem to be a thread for introductions, anyway i was a member of the Arbalist Guild for about a year but that forum is dying, im a bit more into old, primitive and medieval crossbows but im more into hunting than i am into crossbows, anyway i thought id show you guys some of my homemade crossbows and a handbow i made some time ago.

At, you are not alone:) I had this one built by a fellow in Texas. It's a 15th century version of the Maximillian. Very light draw but I took this buck with it, the most memorable kill I'll ever make with a crossbow. I purchased a walnut blank to try my hand at it but never got around to it. I guess age caught up to me:) Keep us posted with your bows.
