While firearms took over as the dominant ranged weapon of the day, crossbows still enjoyed popularity in hunting and sport shooting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike all of our crossbows, the Light Crossbow uses a polycarbonate bow with several draw weight options. 13,5 kg (30 lbs) for games with a pound limit, 15 kg (33 lbs) as a safe standard and 20 kg (44 lbs) for scenes with heavy combat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen using appropriate bolts, this amount of power remains reasonably safe even at short distances, with the exception of the 20 kg version, which should always be used from a safe distance. The crossbow is built to accept shorter (30cm) IDV Bolts, which we offer in our store and we recommend their use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe also offer handmade quivers of quality leather with a wooden bottom to fit those bolts. The quivers are available in 7 colors and with 3 styles of decoration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body of the crossbow is made out of sturdy beech or maple wood and treated with wood stain and oil. The string and the rope securing the bow are made out of hemp. The rail on top of the body is made out of PVC-U, which simulates bone inlay, which was very popular with this style of crossbow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe steel components are made out of regular mild steel. The nut mechanism is made to automatically lock into position when drawing the string.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe attaching process is the same as with our Heavy crossbow and it is explained in our \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=8tHdrkSvURc\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eCrossbow video.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTotal length: 70cm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBow length: 52cm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended bolt shaft length: 23cm (30cm total length with IDV bolts)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight: 1550g\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDraw weight: 13,5kg (30lbs) \/ 15kg (33lbs) \/ 20kg (44lbs)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDraw length: 16cm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe ranges are:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDraw weight 13,5kg (30lbs): 16m\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDraw weight 15kg (33lbs): 18m\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDraw weight 20kg (44lbs): 22m\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.fakesteel.cz\/pages\/faq\"\u003e*more information in our FAQ\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eMaintenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eTo prevent unnecessary strain on the bow of the crossbow, it should be unstrung every time it is put to storage and strung again for use. It's not necessary to unstring it in the evening of an event, but you should definitely do so at the end of it. The stringing is a bit trickier than on our Heavy crossbows, due to the shorter bow, but the technique shown in our \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=8tHdrkSvURc\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eCrossbow video\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe crossbow shouldn't be kept primed, unless you're expecting to shoot in the next dozen or so minutes. Priming obviously puts a lot more strain on the bow than merely stringing it and if you leave it primed for hours on a regular basis, it can lose power or even break.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIt is important to keep the rail of the crossbow lubricated to shoot at optimal power. This is especially important if you're using bolts with rubber wings, as rubber grips on dry PVC-U very strongly. The best lubricant for the rail is vaseline (petroleum jelly), which should be applied regularly directly onto the plastic and especially to the leather reinforcement of the string. The leather will soak up the vaseline over time and keep the rail slippery. If your bolts seem to fly worse than before, it probably means you need to lubricate the top.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe nut mechanism should be oiled regularly to prevent rust. This can be done with any appropriate protective oil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"About_videos__2TiIb\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"About_video__1KsD7\"\u003e\u003ciframe height=\"400px\" width=\"100%\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jiNXXEahTnI\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"FakeSteel Armory","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52872249213265,"sku":null,"price":7140.0,"currency_code":"CZK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/8094\/3080\/files\/rts_razitko_3.jpg?v=1769081039","url":"https:\/\/www.fakesteel.cz\/products\/larp-light-crossbow-ready-to-ship","provider":"FakeSteel Armory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
