Description
-
This target crossbow has a wooden stock shaped like a modern handheld firearm. It has been restored at the tip and has an iron prod and ring, mounted onto the stock by iron mounts. The top surface of the stock is veneered by an iron groove. This is where the arrow would rest, with an iron lock mechanism, trigger and peep sight. The butt of the crossbow is capped by metal and has two small protruding knobs. The crossbow is missing its string.
