This sporting crossbow is small in size and primarily made from steel with a heavy drawback weight which requires a hand winder to be attached to the top of the stock and engages with the bowstring. The handle on the hand winder is turned and pulls the bow back. The wooden stock of this crossbow is inlaid with plaques that are engraved with images of the life of William Tell, a famous crossbowman.
