I'm appalled by this question, if it was a serious one. Ranger, is this how poor your world view is?

After reading how I typed it, I feel ashamed

It was meant to be a simple question about why he is speaking english (very good english) in germany. It was not meant to be mean or have "poor world views"

I will go back and edit

Edit: is that better?

Now that you phrased it better it doesn't sound so bad

Have done it - I converted an old rifle stock for the slingshot crossbow, and I also attached a scope.

I strengthened the barrel by adding to more "rails", as the 3 stripes of Thera Gold per side bent the single steel tube slightly upwards. Now everything is OK!

Used a training band to adjust the scope and to test the accuracy - 10 meters, it shoots hole in hole in hole.

It is really long for a crossbow, but I love it!

Will do a video tomorrow, already prepared the ballistic gelatin...

that is a thing of beauty joerg, very very good job, i didn't think it could be pulled off so nicely kudos

OMG Joerg I love you That is amazing!!! Did you make that scope mount?

Thats awesome, can you take a close up picture of the trigger mech, I dont get how it works

Here's what he told me

The trigger is just a lever that holds the roller parts together, like a fork. You pull the trigger and the fork lowers, releasing the rollers. Those swing out, because of the pull of the rubber, and the shot falls.

Wait where, he just posted it, plus i want to see the lever part

Ahh it was on youtube, I asked him the same question. I want to see a more detailed picture too, anyway.

Yes, I made the scope mount. Wasn't very easy, the nature of the gun called for just one attachment point, behind the lock. So I had to use thick steel.

Also, the clamps on the Bushnell scope do not have a wide "range", the rail had to be very precise.

I had to rebuild the trigger lever in order to make it fitting into the stock.

Wow. While still having a very good idea, you made it look beautiful!!!

You still haven't failed to impress me...

The 3 tubes makes it look like a triple barrel shotgun with square projectiles.

Well the walls of the tubes are just 1mm... a little bit on the thin side for a firearm! But for a sling-crossbow it is allright.

Video is uploading, tested it against gelatin and compared it with "real" ball shooting crossbows. They don't stand a chance.

BTW, I measured the draw weight. It is about 55 lbs for the strongest band set.

Thanks for that important information.

I believe that 75 - 100 pound draw is possible.

250 meter golf ball?
