Great video Kramer- thanks for the collaboration!!! Your laugh after shooting it is the same laugh I give after test shooting every one of my new crossbow builds!
wooden fletching was really common for crossbows. At least the ones used for warfare. The reason for it is that they could easily stockpile ammunition and wouldn't have to worry about the vanes being damaged no matter how long they were stored.
Check out the Tod's Workshop channel, he makes historically accurate weapons including crossbows.
Definitely watch some of the Tod's Workshop stuff. He makes some amazing historical crossbows
tods workshop is the place to see real historically accurate crossbow ballistic testing ! great work on your xbow !
subbed
yep, he should be able to knock up a 1,000 lb prod, no probs lol
Yes!!!! Do more crossbow stuff! I made my own during lockdown and while it works great its rough as hell.
What I enjoy so much about watching you Krammer is you make the videos on such a way that I feel like I am working on it too.
The wooden fletching looks really cool.
Such a sick build!
Nicee, would definitely like to see more on this. Also I liked the giggles after shooting it haha. Or perhaps an evil laugh..
Awesome stuff! 👌
You can also easily shift the prod a little to the left or the right to correct your windage if the crossbow is shooting to the left or to the right.
I just stumbled across your channel, very interesting stuff my man! You are a natural behind the camera! I get the feeling that you where on a HS or college speech/debate team or a drama club? You are very well spoken and the inflections in your voice keeps a feller very interested in what you are saying! Keep up the good work my friend!
I'd love some more historical builds or content
you gotta revisit the 50 dollar bow , try a steel door hinge and put a bur on it for the scraper , and take the stands out of the paracord to twists a string and maybe fishing like to reinforce it ? Maybe also try a fiber glass fence tension thingy for a backing
You can mount the bow canted forward to reduce friction between the string and stock
very good call on the brace height, you only have 12 inches of draw to work with already, can't give up half of that.
im very curious about that wooden bolt. maybe you could do a vid on making those? maybe out of reach for most people, i dont know, but very interesting! i have a barnett ranger 150.
If you want the prod to also bend in the middle you have to round the corners of the socket it goes in. To match the curvature of the bow when it's ready to fire so the corners don't get in the way.
You underestimate my power
I use a belt sander in reducing the limbs to where I begin tillering. One caveat I have learned is that it is incredibly easy to sand a hinge into a limb down at the pulley end of the belt. I turned a 40 pound bow into a 25 pound bow this way. I still use the belt sander, but I am smarter now...
I hope.
I feel your pain, I had a very similar problem. I did all the work on my first bow with hand tools only and it turned out beautifully at 55'ish pounds, so of course I got a tad arrogant and decided to rush through a new bow with the belt....to disastrous results 😅
Great video and build, thank you!
P.S. What glues did you use on these, I didn't see anything listed on the details pane?
You should do some videos on ilf target bows.
No para de hablar, una imagen vale más que mil palabras.
Whoosh.....thunk!
Awesome!
Mount the prod at a 10° angle so the it can free travel down the stock. You wont get string wear. I built one from Todsworkshop. Medieval Crossbow specialist.
Suggest you watch Tods workshop on yt. He makes and tests a lot of medieval crossbows.
Could you possibly do more bow reviews from Amazon, the ones from last time are unavailable and I’m looking to buy a bow very soon. Recurve or longbow would be ideal
If the bow has a slight smile the string may not drag/ hop quite so much?
too cool. Try making prods out of spring steel for this.
Suggestion for can it bow, veneer iron on strips stacked together?
I feel speed would be more important for a crossbow due to the short action period (bow accelerating the bolt)
Unlike a bow where it has about a metre to accelerate, a bolt only seems to have 1/2 - 1/4 of that
Correct but crossbow (medieval) was a very inefficient platform hence why there are astronomical draw weights in medieval crossbows , like 1000 lbs , the bolt still has less energy then a 100 lbs bow because of the power stroke
@@18IMAMGODINA this is why modern compound crossbows are crazy fast. Very long stroke length for a crossbow.
@@kaikart123 yes but it also uses a much lighter bolt
@@18IMAMGODINA and?
@@kaikart123 It just is lighter what do you mean and ? xD ah well its also longer since it has a bigger power stroke
Keep your fingers out of the triangle when you are placing your dart, hold the dart near the head, otherwise if your crossbow accidentally fires you won't injury or lose your fingers.
Just letting you know, I don’t appreciate you disabling comments on the $50 bow build video. I mostly read comments while I watch, since I can find other bowyers in the comment section
Great video! What song is that at 6:55 ?
Hey do you know where I can get a template. Or some measurements so I can make this
do you tink it is posible to make an all wooden working compound bow??
Can you re emulate the crossbow that ZNA production made several years ago, He used a speargun rubber for he's crossbow , with that being said you are an industrial archery man So you can highlight the pros and cons of he's build.
It would be cool to see a paper Mâché backed bow
What do you use for your back board(target)?
How long is the limb of crossbow?? Thank you
When are you going to make an english longbow ?
How powerful could a wooden crossbow be maxed out?
What was the rock music track
Ia there any way i can buy a bow from you its for my 12 year old kid hes strong 40lb is what he pulls and if you can cheap pls i dont have alot tight now
Had a question - Got offered a super bear kodiak 50# as my first bow (beginner) friend offered me it saying he had too many wanted to see if it was worth for me to get or not T_T can anyone help
Can you make a slingbow?
Short drawlength crossbows are all about poundage if you want to get good performance out of it.
Do you ever sell the bows you build
Yep. Find me on Instagram.
Wanna know what sucks? I need a gun armourers licence to build a crossbow where I live. gotta love queensland!!
Fps ?
Hey Kramer love your style and videos man I wanna order some strings off you but I'm getting charged $16 For delivery and that just seems really excessive for a piece of string . I'm not on Facebook so forgive me massaging you through CZcams as I can find no other way of contacting you . Also I can find no way of converting USD to pound sterling please help
Mmm 🤔 go crazy make a magazine for it
the bolts also have wooden fletching because 1; wooden fletching's are easier to make and you can make them in more abundance then feathers. also feathers get wet, crushed, and they overall tend to be more of an headache.
When the imposter is sus
Why would not the veins be metal to broad head their way thru critters better. The thick shaft can hold the veins off the launch channel? I know! My box will not hold my thinker. I am thinking outside the box!
Feather fletchings work better imo.
Wait till you see the slow mo launch footage, that is when you will realize how superior a crossbow is to a bow.
The ammunition is inherently more accurate, no spine to worry about. Flies like a bullet.
That's why the Mongols were so successful
As there are only two vanes required on a crossbow ..wood works fine as it does not have to collapse on encountering the hand or bow on release . If wooden vanes where used on an arrow they would injure the archer on release.
.
Now start making plenty of arrows.

I feel like you should talk to Shadiversity. Idk what you guys could do, but hes been on a real bow kick lately
Also that stock really needs some stain
Ok, So you need steel for the limbs, the kind of steel wich you cannot bend it 90 degree wihtout snaping, the dangerous kind! That makes really fast bow for crossbow.
Or you can build fiber and carbon limbs. Really guys i do not get why you keep wasting wood in the middle of your limbs as a filer. When you can use carbon fiber for compression, and glass for tension. And you make alost faster limb than using wood. Wood is cheaper but a crossbow limb is shorter.
So i sugest using carbon fibers, you need to taper it but on the back you will cut the fibers on the back of the platband, assuming you use that. Then on the back where you tapered, you stick the fiber glass, as many layers you think you need. After you done all of that take some nylon cord, and cover it tight in that, the entire limb. This will prevent it from snaping.
Steel is cheaper... But if you take the time to make a carbon fiber and glass limb is alot better and faster than steel.
Sorry but this tiller is in no way inspired by "spanish 16 century crossbow". Spanish 16 century crossbow, unlike this LARP monstrousity, is pinnacle of crossbow design, sleek, light, robust and adopted to mass production. Check photos from Malta armoury, they have lots of them, really beatifull things. Check Santa Clara wreck (1564), they found several crossbows of the same type, replicas were made and 3D scans are available. Main difference is that the tillers are much thinner, 2 by 1.5 inches, which in real life is quite enough for 150-200 kilos steel bow (yes, I have replica made, I checked). Nut is also absolutelly wrong. It is closer to German design, with flat plate and hooks (but done incorreclty), Spanish were usually without plate, with simple circular cut - mass production, remember? They were mounted without any pins or cords, that is correct, and were quite easy to replace and loose (Bernal Diaz mentions "nuts jumping out", in other case last nut from crossbow "jumped away" and was swallowed by large fish but was later recovered when fish was caught). Cut for the bolt in the nut is wrong, since it does not allow to place the bolt in such a way that string is pushing the center of it.
And no stirrup, they were spanned by goat-foot lever.
Check out the “Maximillian” crossbow in the Berlin history museum. You’ll find very specific measurements and details in a catalogue published in 2019. It’s a Spanish crossbow that was in the collection of Emperor Maximillian I. This was inspired by that crossbow…I don’t think it is quite fair to say that this is a “Larp monstrosity”, although that is pretty funny! Cheers!

Where can i buy one of bow kits how much for that hundred pound bow
