If you could mount that to a long bow, then you might have some interested people on this site.

I wonder if he is going to mount that can of soda he shot? Good job he nailed it before it wandered off...

Like a Gamegetter for a crossbow. I like the concept, it may need some refining.

[The Hermit]

Cool! Wonder what velocities the balls reach... might be good for neck shots!! Doh slap myself in the knackers!!!

[The Hermit]

That's only about $39 Canadian seems reasonable to be.

Hey Mike that looks very cool!!! Wonder how often a guy would actually use it though... and over 500fps would make it subject to registration. Can you imagine explaining this to the Centre staff? LOL

[Bowzone_Mikey]

ya not certain how that reg thing would pan out ...
... If i still lived in Alberta or a place where alot of gophers live I would be seriously looking at it

[Walksalot]

I wonder if the ball is less weight than a bolt. If so I wonder how long the limbs would last as it appears to me to be pretty close to a dry fire.

Good point, anyone weigh their balls lately?

Looked it up... 50cal balls weigh 178gr

I don't think I would want to be the crash test dummy in that court case. Blowguns are prohib & pellet rifles over 500fps... breaks both those rules...

When I was younger and My brothers and I would chase each other around with paintballs and slingshots, I started playing with the idea of making something similar for my recurve...cool Idea but it probably would have been difficult to make it past 16 had I gone through with it.

That being said...paintballs out of an x-bow???

That would be fun until someone insisted on playing against you during crossbow only games with their full auto deathmaker. :mrgreen:

Good point. Like Bill said - .50 cal lead balls are weighing only 178 grains. That's way too light for a crossbow. Recipe for a disaster, unles that little teflon thingy weighs around 300 grains...

[cooterdog]

Did anyone look any further or just dead idea?
