    Will Somebody be willing to tell me how to make a trigger attatchment?

  • Jason Kumar

    Ok so this helps A LOT with those rubber latex tubes!!! It shot right through this hollow wall and came out in the other end!! I thought if i attatch a binder clip at the end holding the rubber and put the skewer in the crossbow, when i press on the binder clip, it will shoot out and have a trigger, but the rubber latex is so strong it keeps pulling on the binder clip. Hot glue helps a bit, but i wonder if there is another way to make a trigger in the crossbow? Please leave your ideas below. BTW the rubber tube helps a LOT it is much stronger than rubber bands.

     its easy to make a trigger stick a piece of wood eg: half a pencil through the part where there should sellotape. next pull the elastic band onto that piece of wood. remember the wood has to be long enough to it will hold the band on the top and allow you to pull your finger on the other end (obviously) theres your trigger. sellotape is not a good trigger if the tape fails you could accidently shoot some one

     easy attach another two pencils to increase the lenghts. cut a lollipop stick in half or a pencil down lenghtways. stick it between the two pencils you just added on and stick the elastic band on the tip of the stick. the other end of the stick should be on the bottom. hey presto a trigger,
