This is a very light bow ~30lbs with 10'' draw. Fun to shoot, it would have been used for hunting or fishing.

Crossbows are unimpressive today because we have guns. Imagine a time before firearms and you see why they where so popular. Nice crossbow

@stoopidhaters 6 лет назад

They still are impressive, people use them for hunting, but no modern crossbow beats the charm of a medieval crossbow.

@hackcult3738 3 года назад

U don’t have a crossbow I guess

@GadgetMart 3 года назад

@@hackcult3738 I used to shoot longbow. It’s the short power stroke that hinders these old bows. Modern crossbows are basically just horizontal compound bows.

@cdgonepotatoes4219 3 года назад

In some places crossbows were even banned

@angelofthedead1886 2 года назад

If you’re in place where guns are prohibited or have same price as your house, then they’re best weapon to depend on.

Great video! Can't wait to see the making of.

@MyDeathhead 4 года назад

I love your work you have inspired me to make my own based on what ive seen you do.

@briananuvattanachai6646 6 лет назад

Wonderful!!!

@Caradepato 6 лет назад

Very nice! Will check out the making of, will give my carpenter friend something to do.

I really liked the darker version of it with the yew bow.

@onogrirwin Год назад

I'm going to make one of these.

@justsomeguy3931 4 года назад

Backwoods bow, that's where I've heard that term before. Very sweet, I'm impressed by what this is capable of. They should show people how to make them in SERE training lol

@poppywarner177 6 лет назад

Todd do those straw boss stop much more powerful crossbow bolts ?

@Krkef 6 лет назад

When is the website going to open?

@kathryndelbridge4229 6 лет назад

I also wonder if adding a bolt "clamp" thingy would improve accuracy when the string engages it

@iBlake 6 лет назад

What are the specs on the bolts for this weight crossbow? They look like 11/32 shafts. Whats the overall weight, and the weight of the tips you're using? Overall length?

@pendantblade6361 6 лет назад

where is the video making it?

@baronprocrastination1722 5 лет назад

What's the biggest sort of game can it take down, by your estimates?

@rivenmain2175 4 года назад

was it used to hunt big game like boars? how do i know when a crossbow is powerfulll enough to hunt big game?

@lvd8122 6 лет назад

What is the earliest war-crosbow in the middle ages you know off?

@MyDeathhead 4 года назад

I always think of the Roman ballista when I think of early crossbows

@lil_juanny 6 лет назад

Would this be similar to the crossbow that the Picts may have used?

@MyDeathhead 4 года назад

Did the Picts have crossbow?

@ZemplinTemplar 3 года назад

Tod actually made a whole hypothetical replica of what a Pictish crossbow might have looked like (if the Picts were inspired partly by Roman crossbows, but used more domestic materials) and he made a video about it here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6sC-hmvAL5M.html

400 gpb for a low power crossbow?

@danieltaylor5542 6 лет назад

Were there fowling blunts for crossbow bolts historically?

@danieltaylor5542 6 лет назад

Thank you.

Is that an authentic dark age hat?

@madichelp0 6 лет назад

How many pounds draw weight does that bow have? What's the highest you'd comfortably go with a fully wooden construction? Also where's the video?

@hobbexp 6 лет назад

i cant find that video either

@madichelp0 6 лет назад

What energy output does it have? Have you shot it through a chronograph?

@skylerslack12 4 года назад

His website has these listed on there for sale. Something like 130 poundage. But you gotta pay extra and even with the base poundage these are 400 GBP!! And 8 month lead time!!

@fredflintstone7986 6 лет назад

What length is the stock Tod?

@fredflintstone7986 6 лет назад

Depends. I am pretty sure the reenactment crowd would pay for them at Torm. I know of one reenactor within my own circle that attempted this crossbow. I pointed out his prod had an awful tiller and the stock was too short. So they clearly want to make them. Perhaps sell it as a download PDF if you have a website? People all over the world can access plans for different crossbows then and pay you for it?

@skylerslack12 4 года назад

@@fredflintstone7986 he sells the plans for like 5 bucks. And sells the actually crossbows for 400 pound!! And 8 month lead time!!

@MI_44177 6 лет назад

Make a video on how to make a normal medieval crossbow (steel)

@MI_44177 6 лет назад

tod todeschini lets hope so

@kathryndelbridge4229 6 лет назад

I wonder how much the trigger mechanism affects accuracy, seeing as it jumps out of the slot

@kathryndelbridge4229 6 лет назад

Rubbish. Just look at your target spread. Either youre blind or that trigger mechanism is chaotic

@kathryndelbridge4229 6 лет назад

tod todeschini My ass it does

@kathryndelbridge4229 6 лет назад

tod todeschini I can tell you now from direct experience, a rolling nut has a big impact on accuracy.

@jeffersonpachecoi1609 6 лет назад

Pine wood?

@brcooper77 4 года назад

He mentions ash in the other video.

@MyDeathhead 4 года назад

You could make the stock out of pine but not the bow to brittle.

@eternoakashadecimus6818 3 года назад

I really liked this crossbow but your pressure is too high. in your work shop. Here in Mexico 500 euros are 12,000 Mexican pesos and with 12,000 I buy a professional crossbow, Dark Ages Crossbow I like this crossbow because it is simple pity for me I will not be able to buy it :(

@percules3333 6 лет назад

Get some yew bows

@kathryndelbridge4229 6 лет назад

Less adherence to what you've read, and more actual thought as to what was reality based upon tested outcomes. People have been lying and exaggerating for millenia. Only those that genuinely delve deep into this art can really discern fact from fiction. Building a bow is one thing; Putting it to actual use is entirely another.

@kathryndelbridge4229 6 лет назад

tod todeschini Thank God for such honest people as yourself. It's your rare kind who has the unique mix of passion, intelligence and humility who become true authorities on these things.
