Author Topic: Crossbows ! Randall Moffett Member Member # 11233 posted 09-30-2010 05:10 PM                If Bob knows of some places that would be great. I wonder if Alchem would make a prod of 300lbs? Of course there might be some one able to make a crossbow prob of wood in the 200lbs draw maybe, I will have a look.

Registered: May 2000  |  IP: Logged Randall Moffett Member Member # 11233 posted 10-03-2010 08:49 AM                I have been looking under that and the french term as well but have hit nothing. Anyone know if the slavic languages have their own term for crossbow?

The Pound Sterling makes it a pricey place to do business, but the quality of the "stuff" that I have seen from there is top notch. Others can wade in about service, etc. -- I have only seen their website, haven't bought from them (yet).

I love Todd's stuff and have indeed handled a few of his crossbows but they are more than I could spend in the near future. You are right though. His stuff is amazing.

Czech samostříl (arbalest, crossbow) kuše (crossbow) šíp do kuše (bolt) šípy do kuše (bolts) Jenn [ 10-07-2010: Message edited by: Fire Stryker ] Registered: May 2000  |  IP: Logged
