Armex Tomcat MKII 80lb crossbow pistol review

[Mortblanc]

For points I often use tubing that fits the dowel. I flatten one end and trim and sharpen to a point, then glue onto the dowel. I use a lot of 5/16 dowels for their strength (stronger than 1/4" but lighter than 3/8) and also because that size fits properly into the mouth of a steel 7.62x54 Russian rifle cartridge. It allows me to recycle the nonreloadable surplus cases I pick up at the range.

Occasionally I pick up cheap target arrows at Walmart when they go on clearance for $2 ea. I sand the nochs flat and shorten the length and relocate the tips and they work fine. It takes about 2 minutes to mod one.
