Description

This disc crossbow features a screwed in steel prod with black and yellow string wrapping, alongside a metal suspension ring in the front. The walnut stock is covered with iron fixtures, such as the folding catch lock, controlled by the set trigger within the fingered trigger guard. A metal diopter sight is attached on the top, which can be laterally adjusted. The stock is shaped thinner, possibly for the positioning of the arm.
