winch crossbow

Raven · Posted: Feb 15, 2006 1:12 am Post subject: winch crossbow

Ok. Imagine a canal that has trees down the sides. What if you were to pull the rope out manually, have the rider go to the far end of the canal. Now take the handle and place it on the crossbow and fire. It would take some craftsmenship to fine tune to make it work; but I could see it.

And if you guys don't like this idea stay tuned for summer 06' when I take the winch deep sea fishing. Rolling Eyes

Sorry, I'm really bored.

Anything is aerodynamic with enough force. Twisted Evil

Well alot of times there are obstacles on the banks making it impossible to walk the rope around to the starting point.freerider4, are you talking about one of those bottom fishing electric reels, those things are tight. They are slow though, I'm gonna get a new world record. Laughing

With enough force and balance I bet you could launch that handle a few hundred feet. Any hunters on here that use crossbows?

Raven, ohhhh, at first i didnt really get what you were trying to say, but now i do, thats a pretty good idea if you can make it work well.

Raven, I was thinking of the same thing before. It's a beach to have to swim out the winch rope 600 feet for each pull, trust me, ive done it. I was thinking of making some sort of catapult to launch the rope out, it would be really hard to make something that was poweful enough to throw that much weight though. I think it is a feasable idea, it would take some time to figure out though.

Raven, hunters dont use crossbows.

hahaha my stepdad is a huge redneck and so i guess i am a little and i shoot REAL archery and i knwo quite a few people who would never stop fiznackling with you if you mentioned hunting with a cross bow.

theres a handicapped guy at this range that uses one... thats cool i guess

I got an idea, what if you had a length of super skinny and light rope attached to you somehow. That way when you get bnack to the winch yopu untie the rope from you tie it onto the handle.the person who needs the handle just had to pull the handle back. You could even get a surf fishing rod with spiderwire(braided fishing line) and use that. Thatd be real sweet.

If I had a winch I would take it out to dinner, a movie, dancing etc.
But seriously we are americans and we're lazy so I think that might possibly work.

I hope you're a good shot though..

what if you just bought two BLACKBOX's. placed one at each end. tied a rope to your leg, get pulled. then have the other one drag you back. Now you dont even have to swim. LAZY is spelt with a z right?

HYPOXIC FILMS, what if bought two blackbox's, tied a rope to both your legs, then tied the other rope to your hands, and got torn apart at the lower torso. that would be so utterly sweet.

Brett Leadley, did you go to art school? Laughing

No arrows, just shoot the handle. jerk the hamer it's time for action, and build it up a little so that it will hold something bigger than an arrow like......a handle. Pull out the rope, balance the handle. aim ...pow! Birthday

Of course you may need to extend the stock a bit. Can somebody put up some crossbowpics please?

941wake, sorry about the hunting insult.Chris Barcellos, you knowimean.Bad Luck,

Ben, what if you had one of those carpenters things with the retractable string Shocked

I hear ya!

Raven, hahaha it wasnt an insult im just clearing it up that cross bow's are sooooo 1500

Raven,

OK fine no arrow. Laughing

You live close to D.C. right? Just don't ask D. Cheney over for a winch session

WOOT WOOT!!!!! I got it!!!!!!

JP, Go and buy a remote control boat for around 100(one thats decent) and make a custom thing to attach the handle to. Then all youd have to do is program put the handle on the boat and take it way down yonder. I read that in a fishin magazine once for super duper long casts Cool

Seriously thatd work soooo good Razz

Brett Leadley Laughing

I hear hes deadly with an arrow too Twisted Evil

integrity640, you're ready for college, get out of that place you call hi-school. You just graduated. That is the best idea Idea

When I was a kid I worked a lot to park cars, I said follow the valet.........my remote comtrolled car...The Hornet Razz

You'd need a pretty nice one....big and bouyant, and with some range. Those cheap ass wake editions probably would go more than 100 yards Rolling Eyes

I don't know, somebody has one...what's up?

Get a good one with a 500 ft range for undera 100, it goes 15 mph Razz

I seriously think thatd work really well though, just attach the handle to it and steer her back to the starting point. Thatd be hella sweet, you could even attach a camera to one and have it go in front of the rider, thats if you got one that was fast enough Very Happy
