Whats the best way to make a home-made crossbow trigger release mechanism? (to release the bow string)?
Whats the best way to make a home-made crossbow trigger release mechanism? (to release the bow string)?
I need to know the best way to release the bow string of a crossbow. I have a home-made crossbow but can't make the right trigger relase mechanism.
Thanks
Additional Details
My crossbow looks pretty bad but it is surprisingly good, I have an old axe shaft for my stock and I use longbow arrows instead of quarrels. Right now I have a gate hinge for a release mechanism but need a much better one as 20 pounds or higher of pressure can rip it of the crossbow. I estimate that my crossbow has about 50-70 pounds of pressure. Its not much, but I am searching for a leaf spring to put on. NOTE: It has no accuracy
This is a tough question when a drawing can not be used. But I will try.
First the crossbow needs to have a rifle like stock; one thing is for strength and size enough to hold the trigger mechanism. The basic parts are a bow string holder and a trigger. In the stock a groove is made to lay the arrow or bolt, at the distance from the bow that the bow string would be pulled back to a string holder or release would be inlet into the stock. This release would be a disk apox. 1 inch in diameter and ¾ inch thick made a material such as aluminum . The release would protrude about 3/8th of an inch above the groove. This disk would rotate on an axel supported by the stock. Picture the groove in the stock going completely through the disk so an arrow slide in the groove clear through the disk. To hold the string a notch parallel to the bow string would be made in the disk at a slight rearward slant. Now looking at the left side of the stock picture the disk mounted in the stock and it has recess cut into the disk at 9 the o’clock position with relief cut into it towards 6 o’clock. The trigger is actually a lever that is pinned in the stock, with the finger part extending below the stock. With the length below the pin being aprox. 2 X the amount above; this gives leverage to pull the trigger away from the disk under the pressure of the bow string trying to rotate the disk. The upper part of the trigger is called a sear and it holds the disk from rotating counterclockwise under the pressure of the string. When the trigger is pulled to the rear. The upper part moves forward allowing the disk to rotate counter clockwise allowing the string to move forward propelling the arrow. The trigger needs a spring to push the sear into the notch of the disk. The sear and the disk must mate together so it hold the disk but also can be released. Hopefully this helps.
