Title: Primitive crossbow
Post by: Chad on September 01, 2014, 12:01:39 am
Hi all, first time poster but I have used these threads extensively for the last month to help me with my bow and arrows, the knowledge is much appreciated.

I saw an interesting video on youtube the other day, there is a lot of controversy about crossbows being allow to hunt whether or not you have a disability (I read a very good article on that in primitive archer on the philosophy on it but don't remember the issue #). Anyway, I found this video on how to make a primitive crossbow https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14s8i0GBjAo&list=UUNLcdG1VU9jjFgjz90pKk3w (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14s8i0GBjAo&list=UUNLcdG1VU9jjFgjz90pKk3w) I thought it was interesting, and thought you might too. Thanks.

That's pretty cool. Flcubanredneck on ths site is an instructor for Sigma3. They teach some excellent classes. He asked me to help teach the primitive bow classes but I have a full time job so Claude Van Order is teaching them along with pottery, flint knapping, shelter building and more. I know Bonepile has taught some on basket weaving also.

I would love to go to one of their classes, well more than just one. I believe Pine Hollow Longbows teach a bow making class that I would help with my learning curve I'm sure.
