The butt of the stock is a curved knob. The trigger of the stock is a wooden rolling nut mechanism. On the front of the stock is a mounted iron stirrup used to help space the device. The stock possesses some minor damage, including holes from a past insect problem. The iron parts of the crossbow show aging due to oxidization and more. The prod passes through the stock, and the string is made of twisted plant material. That is attached to the display
