How To Make a Crossbow
- Step 1: We’ll start with the cross. Take the two pieces of wooden blocks – one long and the other short. Hold the longer piece straight and place the shorter piece of wood closer to your body, so that the two pieces of wood form a T-shaped cross. Perforate nails into the intersection to hold the two wooden pieces together. Now drive one nail each on the two ends of the shorter wooden piece, leaving the nail sticking up by about 1/8th inch. Here fix the elastic band to be used as a catapult. Make sure that all the nails are stable and secure, so that the wood pieces don’t slip. This brings in sturdiness, which is crucial for its performance.
- Step 2: Now attach the elastic band to the protruding nail, that was left at the ends of the smaller wooden piece. While stretching it form one nail to the other, make sure to stretch it taut before attaching it. If this is not done, it will not be able to launch the projectile properly, as the band would be too slack to do that. Moreover, straightness of the band is important to ensure that the projectile goes in the desired direction.
- Step 3: To learn how to make crossbow trigger, is probably the only difficult step in making a crossbow. To start with, you need to cut out a rectangle of 1 inch by 1½ inch through the stock at an appropriate point, where you wish to mount the trigger. Now, let’s see how to make a simplified version of the trigger. You’ll require a lever like a gun butt. The top of the lever will be holding the stretched elastic band in front while the back should be held by a hook attached to that end of the rectangular cut which is closer to you. Now add a trigger button which when pressed should release the hook holding the stretched elastic band. This can also be done by adding some kind of a button trigger, where pressing the button will release the hook holding the band.
- Step 4: Now, with the bow ready to fire, you need to learn how to make crossbow arrow or bolts. Crossbow bolts can be made of a variety of materials. Aluminum or carbon are the preferred materials for endurance and consistency in size and mass, and can have feathers for enhanced aerodynamic capability. It is advised to start by buying the basic structure for the bolt and then altering it by adding feathers and sharpened tips to enhance performance.

What would be the best crossbow bolts to use deer hunting,?
Using a Barnett wildcat cross bow? Knowledgeable crossbow hunters please answer in detail, length , weight and any other revilement info.Thanks in advance.
This crossbow has ben covered with camouflage tape and It’s impossible to tell which model it is, also which is best the carbon or aluminum bolt?
If your wildcat is a C5 you need to use a 20 inch 2219 arrow with a half moon nock
If your wildcat is an XL you need to use a 16 inch 2216 arrow with a half moon nock
So look at what you have and the correct arrow will be one of these two.
