The Resilient Heart of the Pistol Crossbow: 50 lbs Replacement Limb
Technical Specifications and Design
The limb is engineered for maximum durability and a long service life. The metal surface is protected by a black synthetic coating, which not only looks professional but primarily shields the material from corrosion and external environmental factors.
| Material | Flexible steel with synthetic coating |
| Draw Weight | 50 lbs (approx. 22.7 kg) |
| Width (Unstrung) | 430 mm (approx. 16.9 inches) |
| Included in Delivery | Limb, 2x protective end caps |
History and Evolution of Crossbow Limbs
While medieval crossbow limbs were made of composite materials (wood, horn, sinew) and later of massive steel, modern pistol crossbows utilise advanced metallurgical processes. The steel limb was historically a symbol of progress—it allowed for the construction of more compact weapons with immense piercing power. Interestingly, the first all-steel limbs began to appear on European crossbows during the 14th century, radically changing the face of warfare and hunting at the time. This replacement limb continues the tradition of robust metal limbs but incorporates modern, lightweight engineering.
Assembly and Maintenance
During installation, ensure the limb is perfectly centred in the crossbow body to avoid uneven stress on the arms. Before stringing the crossbow, make sure the protective plastic caps are firmly seated on the limb ends—this prevents the string from fraying against the metal edges.
- Regularly inspect the coating. If it is scratched down to the metal, we recommend treating the area to prevent rust.
- Never dry-fire the limb (firing without a bolt), as this can lead to permanent deformation or cracking.
- Occasionally wipe the metal parts with a cloth and a drop of silicone or gun oil to maintain its perfect appearance.
Safety Warning
A 50 lbs draw weight is sufficient to cause serious injury. Always handle a crossbow equipped with this limb as a live weapon. Never aim at people or animals. Always perform assembly in a relaxed state, without a tensioned string.
We recommend purchasing a spare string and a set of duraluminium bolts alongside this limb to ensure your shooting gear is complete and always ready for action.
