	No hammer. Just like them Brocharts.

	So it would be legal for those 800-900-1000 yard shoots!

	This was long ago, but one of the guys I shot with had a medieval rock thrower that he used to bring to the matches. It wasn't quite this big. (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links)

	No cocking lever . . . my son . . . can probably use a cocking rope. Steel bows can sometimes require auxiliary cocking devices while the crossbow is steadied nose-down by a foot in the stirrup. But I'm betting that your son will be able to pull back and latch the bow string all by himself, using two hands. In any case, it's a really neat "shoulder arm"! Bill Lawrence

	I am sure he will have no problem but I will probably get a rope cocking setup anyway. I may even make a lever cocker that my sore back can handle.

	I have been tempted to build a trebuchet. I would use it to toss the dead moles I catch into the neighbors yard. My home range includes an archery club. They used to be separate memberships but merged a few years back.

	Do you have to use BP, or is smokeless OK in this?

	I think attaching a BP based M80 firecracker to the bolt would be appropriate.
