Thanks, It's strange there aren't many crossbowmen reenactors for XIII century. Here in italy too, we are actually the only group that have some crossbowmen, and soon probably we will add two more crossbowmen. Most of the crossbow are done from Enrico Ascani, an italian guy that live in Genola, prov...

Here myself (the guy with the painted helmet) between some members of my group, during a medieval event in Cassano d'adda (near Milan):

Je collectionne les informations concernant chapeaux et collerettes d'armes ou d'autres types de casque populaires dans le français entre 1400-1420, à partir du XVe siècle. Je voudrais rappeler un fantassin ou arbalétrier du Duché de Savoie et le marquis de Saluzzo, les zones fortement influencées p...

Unfortunately I do not have a source about an arrow bag of the XIII century. The guy that created my bag said that there are still some doubts unresolved, due to lack of sources, so he used some XV century sources.

The trigger/lock system is quite simple and easy to make/repair, almot nothing can go wrong with it.
I see that you don't use a hook to draw the string, you do it with just your hands ?

Thanks.
Yes, for this type of crossbow I can use just my hands to draw the string.

Thanks. Here you can find all the sources I found and received in the forum "Villaggio Medievale". The language is italian, however there are many pictures about medieval sources I used for my crossbowman/infantryman: http://www.villaggiomedievale.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1669&whichpage=1 a topi...

Here my updated crossbowman.
