Ah, if you like crossbows and early firelocks you might want to check out the Glasgow, KY Highland Games: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000979878253#!/event.php?eid=171456062896789

Some of my old cohorts in crime may be there and armed.

I understand being too poor to own all of our dream guns. One piece of good advice that I only rarely follow is to always make two of any gun. Even if it is just a kit gun like: http://fcsutler.com/fckitguns.asp You get to immediately apply what you learn from your mistakes, keep the nice one, and still can sell the other to someone lazier than yourself. Just a thought.

Very nice craftsmanship and attention to detail. I have always thought about doing one of these.

I sure would love to find a classic medieval crossbow kit (maybe even with windlass). Got any ideas for that?
