Hello, this is my first instructable so please don't flame
(Constructive criticism is welcomed)

This is the almightily awesome beta bamboo skewer crossbow
i have made a few very good bamboo skewer crossbows and guns, the first gun shot about a foot, the second one shot far with no force, the third one hurt like a B*tch but was virtually impossible to load, and the fourth was perfect, until the loader fell off and a skewer shot threw my thumb and came out the back
(Hurt like hell, i now have a scar)
but this crossbow is probably the best one, if you follow the steps EXACTLY it should work great!

you will need the following materials

Bamboo Skewers-Ammo,x1 -Bendy part x3
Chopsticks-stock x2
twine-lots of twine for almost everything
hollowed out pen, Bic or Straw-Loader X1
Hot Glue-shouldn't need more then 2 or 3 sticks
Hot glue Gun
Elastics-3

Step One,
take 3 skewers and put them in hot water to increase flexability, bend them every once in a while and let sit for about half an hour

after about half an hour bend them a little bit more and just let them dry, if you are unpatient like i am, just blowdry it until it is dry.
