Hey guys,
I am trying to rebuild Joergs Instant legolini. Below you can see some picture of my work so far.
The first problem that appeared was how to attach the tubular rubber to the string and the string to the bow. Somehow I could attach the tube and the string to the bow, but it was a pain in the ass and took me a long time. I am using Theratube black and 4mm Paracord as a string.
I was wondering if there is already an existing video tutorial from Joerg how to knot the string and how to attach the tubular rubber? However I couldn’t find one.
The next more frustrating problem appeared when I done my first test shots. Always when I tried to shoot the last crossbow bolt in the magazin, the string slips over the arrow and I can’t shoot.
I thought it would be a problem with the pushing lever and tried to make a second one which presses on the bolt more in the front. However it turned out that didn’t fix the problem.
My last idea was to use a board that presses on the arrows more evenly, but isn’t as cool as a lever. It turned out that this is working. Indeed it would be nice, if I could use a lever to press on the bolts since this method is much more elegant. You can see the two levers and the pushing board that I made below.
Does anybody of you has a tip for me how to solve my problems?
Actually I was hoping that the master of repeating slingbows himself maybe can give me some useful tips.
If you are interestested in the plans that I used, I attached the pdf file at the bottom.
