Anybody know of a site on the net that shows how to build a crossbow?

If you pick up a book called "The Crossbow" by Sir Ralph Payne Galwayit gives complete instructions and plans for making several differentkinds of crossbows.The book dates from 1905, but Barnes and Nobles did a reprint a fewyears back.I picked up a hardback edition in their discount section for $10.

Crossbow Plans?

I got in nearly 30 years ago. Still on my shelf. It's good but not as a source of ideas for building a modern crossbow.

Now a replica crossbow, or a catapult. . .

If I weren't interested in gardening and Ireland, I'd automatically killfile any messages mentioning 'bush' or 'Kerry'

I wonder how many of those newfangled Bowflex machines end up missing pieces; pieces taken as modern crossbow parts...
