i love it when you shoot towards the camera!

Ive always wanted to make a crossbow but the big problem I have found is when it comes to building a solid reliable prod with a descent poundage. I wonder whether it would be possible to build a descent prod from PVC pipe for a regular sized crossbow? If you ever get bored making your PVC bows I would love to see you tackle such a task. If there's anyone up to successfully meeting such a challenge I believe it would be you. Keep up the great work.

Made a similar one with some improvements, such as a captive rest. Probably one of the coolest things to have on a bored day, thanks bro.

Thank you for posting the tutorial, I just finished building one based off your designs.

Thanks for you videos, I have one 40 lb PVC bow thanks to them, keep it up.

Thanks! You should make one, it'd be cool to see what you come up with. I'm not too big on mechanical things, but I'm getting there.

Just built a pvc long bow Xbow(80pnd) and pvc horse bow Xbow(60pnd) enlarged version of this design. The horse bow desgin is very effective. The long bows trigger mechinism is to tight because its too strong, it works but you end up with bad aim.........Good shit mate!! backyarder ...light leaf spings do a mad job for more pounds to...but way more work

Great crossbow.

its realy cool i was thinking in making something like that, that one is realy good but i think it id be cooler if you made a better pistol estructor but the rest its realy good you are awsome and realy creative thanks for your vids they realy helped me alot cause i love archery and the bows are a little expensive and i just wanted something for biginers and you realy helped me thanks alot i am a big fan

Sweet crossbow!

oh yeah and the long bow is massive =no good. The horse bow stock is build out of 900x70x35 mm pine with a draw length of 530 mm. I round filed the stock to mound the bow . I also bent a thin piece of aluinium and screwed it on to hold the bolts/arrows

I attached the bow with some jute twine. You could build a larger version. I would just mount something like the 80 pound longbow on it rather completely flattening the pipe like this one.

That’s really good

I just changed the link to the tutorial's new location.

the trigger design is pretty smart, but i've just made one and well... when i aim down or upwards, the bolt slides out of the groove. any ideas on making a captive bolt holder to keep the bolt in place

That's so cool.

Awesome! I'd love to see a video!

That would be fantastic if you could build one with a descent powered PVC prod. I have several plans I downloaded from the net years ago but never bothered tackling the project because of the issues regarding making a descent strength prod. Youre more than welcome to these plans which I can send to you if you like, but they do all involve a wooden stock and metal rolling launching mechanism. Cheers.

really cool, man

i looked at you picture tutorial and i was wondering if you could just use a screw to attach you pvc limbs to the stock

Thanks!

I'm sorry, I went to your website but there doesn't seem to be a tutorial. I love this design! I am trying to make something similar that draws at 35 lbs with a 12 inch draw length. Do you have any advice on what to use for prods?

Thank you.

You needed a clip on top to hold the projectile in place, or else, it would fall off easily.

have u got a video on how to make a little cross-bow like in this clip yet,i think i might be able to reproduce what u have but not sure if it will work tho lol

Hey nick I made your crossbow and I loved it but I did have some proablems like if I was using the crossbow for a long time the bow part would slowly slip off the front to stop this I made a coper strip that I screwed to the bottom and bent up to stop the slipping. I was just wondering what you thought of this fix and if you had that proablem.

@planatification a ton of power man. I built one with a 26 inch piece of 1/2 PVC. that's really smal PVC and yet it was about 50 pounds. so 1 and 1/4 would be really strong. too strong.

The link in the description seems to have 404'd. I was wondering if you could simply mount a PVC bow onto a stock and have a functional crossbow.

It would be really cool to see someone make a tri-shot pistol crossbow.

Yeah, I was thinking about that, but a longbow would be too big. I would like each limb to be approximately 1 foot or just a bit more. I want it to be relatively small, light, and compact, rather than too large. What would you say the power of the bow is if it is made from sched40 PVC 1 1/4" diameter, at a total length of 2'4''?

You should still do a video tutorial!

If I used 1/2 inch PVC pipe for this, how would that affect the weight? Would it go down by 1/3?

what bow style do you get the most efficiency out of? Recurve Long or Something else?

if you were going for a distance shot, how far would it shoot?

I'm sure PVC would work as a crossbow prod. I guess I better make some PVC crossbows. Thanks!

Great now i have to make one. Will the projects ever end?!?!?!?!!!

Can I build a larger one just like it? Would it be more powerful if the limbs were 1 foot each? Also, how did you attach the bow to the stock? Thanks.

picture tutorial seems to be no longer available :/

how far does this crossbow shoots ?

execution style!

Ni k can you make a full size crossbow?

whats the range of the crossbow

So making this, subbed

nice

Thanks for changing the link

he has a decent picture tutorial in his description

Anyone no how to find this picture tutorial

80lb pvc crossbow how to video please!!!!!!! I'm about to make the Longbow!! Your videos are awesome BTW!

please put video how to make this i like to make your bow but i want to make this crossbow please put video

I wanna make at least 80 pound crossbow is it possible

made one thanks alot

I just made one of these

You are prepared to be a witcher

what wrong with my one it crap?

doubtfully 40 lbs draw weight PVC reacts to temperature horribly it could be as little as 8 lbs and 24 hrs after being built it won't be the same .

i made one its fun

epic

hmm 90fps just aint enough but it's still cool.

Do you have a video on how you made this

It not 40 pounds I have a 20 pound I made that gose through half inch ply

No joke

I see that there is a PVC pipe, ready to go :45

Nice :o)

That isn't a 40 lb crossbow

00:45 watch that in 3D :p

I dont believe its a 40 pound crossbow

40 pounds!!!!!

Illeagle.

gay

whats the range of the crossbow
