The bow that started it all..

Post by Pydpiper »

Thought I would share this now, on the weekend before anyone up there sees it and deletes the thread or has me arrested on some privacy issue.
This is Bill T's first crossbow, the one he built for his personal use and the beginning of the empire we all like to indulge in. It is first in line in an array of the evolution of crossbows on display in the Excalibur office.
No mystery as to who took the photo, the muddy footprints lead right to me. :shock:

I just realize the photo is rotated
I wondered why the stands were laying down.

Thanks for posting that.

That's a cool crossbow . . .did he let you shoot it?
I'd rather wear out than rust out.

Wow Pyd that's cool, thanks for the piece of history. Must have been exciting to be so close to the first one ever....
