Does the string just flick the pellet at the end of its travel? The channel for the bullet looks much further forward relative to the bow than I’d expect.

Not sure. I’m used to seeing stonebows with a pouch for the stone in the middle of the string.



Good for drones.


Why would you shoot stones or lead pellets with a crossbow instead of targets, people or animals?

A burning hatred of spherical munitions
