All the attachments will probably be metal. That being said though it would require tools that I don't have like probably a band saw (Even though it's possible to cut metal with a hacksaw it's a absolute pain.) I might just make the body out of wood instead so I will be following the plans just not exactly but, loosely. So it would be possible for me to build the frame. I do have some 3/16" mild steel plate scrap laying around.

I am assuming most of the parts are probably made from metal, and or aluminum except for the grip which most likely wood. However, that being said I think though it would be a tad bit too complicated for me to build. I looked over the patents of his crossbow, I will say I am very impressed with the concept I think it's a great idea.

I have a bunch of work travel coming up so it will likely get there the day after I leave. I don't have anything I want to mess up by taking apart now, and the new bow I ordered to do a build with this trigger is back ordered. It seems to work well just testing it in my hand but I have yet to test it in a Xbow. It will now accommodate any of my arrows. You can see the front groove for the down fletch in this picture: You can see the dropped fork pin in this photo: I went with the bolted together claw assembly just because it is easier to machine and seems to work fine. I basically, lowered the front fork pin, and adjusted the geometry of the other parts to accommodate. So I am experimenting with an improved version. I want to do a semi modern build with this trigger type but the above would be aggravating. But I expect that was an issue unique to that sample as I haven't seen that on two other examples that I built. Also the sample I was testing made a load CLACK sound when fired. All my arrows except one are the standard 3 at 120 type and that is what I want to use.

The main draw back to the Chinese was the inability to cut a deep groove in the front to accommodate a downward pointing fletch.(Doing so would just expose or hit the front fork.) That meant that I had to use 2, 180 degree fletchs or use 3, with two at 180 and one at 90. ( Classic roller nut and my own modern type with a hammer). But I was disappointed with it as compared to the other two types. I was looking forward to the Chinese type because it's elegant design intrigued me. As I posted here before,(Universal Standard Crossbow Nut) I recently built three different trigger types and tested them all back to back. Hi Guys, I thought I would show my latest project. » Questions around heavy crossbow lath buildin
