This micro-crossbow carries 3 bolts, fires from any angle, shoots exploding tipped arrow heads, and launches wooden matches over 30 feet away! Who knew popsicle sticks and hair clips could make such a sexy little crossbow?!

Project History & More Info:
The guys over at sonicdad.com saw my video on how to make a matchstick shooter from a clothespin (http://youtu.be/vC2BSb9MZYc) and used the inspiration to make an awesome micro-crossbow.
They contacted me asking what I could do with it, and this video depicts not only how to make it, step-by-step, but some of the modifications I made that will;
-Allow for additional crossbow bolts to be carried
-Hold the bolt in place in any position and any angle
-Reinforce the limbs for additional draw weight
-Try something dangerous with it (eg. Light up a flaming “Hunger Games” logo)
I made the hunger games logo with a piece of 3/4″ particle board and a jigsaw. It turned out better than I expected!
They encouraged me to make this video, and even gave permission to give away a copy of the project for it absolutely free. All you need to do is join my mailing list, and you’ll be re-directed to a download link. Enjoy! (http://bit.ly/X-BowTemplate)
