Default crossbow drawing

hey guys,

I am new to this forum!

I want to make a replica of one of these crossbows.

Does anyone have a drawing with dimensions?

Or a CAD drawing?

That will be great!

Welcome to the forum, crossbowmaker.
You are certainly aware that the construction of replicas is not our forum hobby.
I wonder whether this example with respective specs from page 92 of " Crossbows in the Royal Netherlands Army Museum" is of any use.

The book is all about crossbows; many with measurements.

Tod's Workshop sells crossbow plans (todcutler.com)
He also sells replica crossbows if your pocket is deep enough(todsworkshop.com).
