Homemade mini crossbow

Body of handmade mini crossboy is made of three planks, fixed with nails.

Bow is made of steel strips, they fastened to body with screws.


Forward view. You can see how bow is attached

Trigger is very simple. It is made of wooden pin with one edge cut

Handle is a handle of ski pole, glue it

Second bow is made of old clock to make handmade mini crossbow more powerful

The pusher. Cut it of wood and adapt it to pin to make a trigger system


Вместе с прищепкой толкатель образует очень простой спусковой механизм

Rubber band, will be a bowstring

Trigger taken from toy gun and fastened with metal strips, also you can use a mechanical constructor set

Extra bow, attached to body of mini crossbow

And bottom view

Attach trigger to the mini crossbow

Rubber bowstring fixed in pusher, which can move along the body. Pusher can be fixed by pin - it's a trigger system. Advantage of using pusher: you can use any types of ammo with your handmade mini crossbow. Balls, bolts...

Also I made a sight and replaced rubber band with a spring to make mini crossbow more powerful

Connection from trigger to pin, made of steel wire

As ammo i'm using syringe needles with heavy heading
