Sliding Repeating Bow v1.

https://youtu.be/lyPXGM5R--o

This is a hybridWood/3D printed sliding repeating bow from Master Jörg. The goal was to have the
easiest woodwork as possible. Nevertheless the arrow rail is still a difficult work to achieve. I asked
a professional wood worker to get a really straight rail.
I use it with a Mission Hammr compound bow. Since the draw weight can be really high on
compound bow I really advise to have the Triggered done in aluminium.

Here what it mine looks like at the moment, still changing the bulkiness regularly that is why the
pictures are not all consistent. See the first test video for a better overview.

Modification History
News in V1.3 :
bow bracket enhancement
front handle enhancement
short arrow adapter
Most parts are now grooved to increase the stiffness and have better look
News in V1.2 :
Aluminium trigger is now better for the string
The sight is now operational
News in V1.1 :
STEP files to have the trigger done in aluminium + trigger improvement + documentation
improvement

3D parts
I printed all the parts in with ASA filament since it is pretty similar to ABS and can endure lots of
stress. Careful of the flanks which should be printed twice , and one is mirrored.
Bracket attached to the bow:
• Bracket.STL
• Bracket_1.STL
• Bracket_2.STL
Front Block:
• CentralFlanc.STL
• CentralFlanc1.STL
• FrontStop.STL
• Lever.STL
• Fronthandle.STL
• ShortArrowAdapter.STL
Sights:
• Sight_Front01.STL
• Sight_Back00.STL
Rear Block (Handle):
• BackLock.STL
• BackStop.STL
• Flancs_X2Mirror.STL
• Handle.STL
• Handle_LeftTT.STL
• Handle_RightTT.STL
• Trigger.STL
• TriggerAluThumb.STL : If you have access to an aluminium worker you want his trigger,
• TriggerAlu_AP###.STEP : STEP file for trigger aluminium work

Wood parts
First you will need a bow. Then the wood parts cut in 10mm thick wood or plywood. Using laser
cut wood makes a lot of ashes and I think a good electric saw with guides is better for the work.
Depending on the draw length of your bow you can change change the length of the two part below.
• 1 rail 800x42x10mm. With a 40x4x3mm groove all along
• 2x Woodflancs 670x65x10mm
The rail have a 10x40mm notch to fit the handle rear block

The plywood flanks have a tendency to bend on way or the other, so I put the 2 wood flanks in such
way that they would both bend outward. One bending compensate the other and the device should
stay straight.

Drilling the wood

The wood flank can be drilled using the 3D part as template:

Screws & bolts & springs
The 3D printed parts are designed to work with M3 screws which are really common all around the
world except for those using imperial units. But I am sure there is a x/64th inch screw/bolts which
would fit really nicely.
• 11x M3 wood insert bolt
• 8x M3 Metal insert bolt
• 8x M3 nuts for the left & right handle
• 22x M3 x 14-16mm screws
• 1x M3 x 25mm screws with no thread at the base for the trigger
• 1x M3 x 30mm screws with no thread at the base for the lever
• 3x M3 x 40mm screws
• 2 or 4x 5mm diameter compression spring for the trigger an the lever
• Some washers to even the screws heads pressure on the woods

The Trigger
Once again, I really advise to have the triggered done in aluminium, or a tuff wood. The STEP
files are available to have it done in Aluminium OR ABS/ASA 3D printing. Though I would rather
count on an aluminium trigger for the long run, and heavy draw weight.
The shape of the trigger is most important since it must hold the bow string whatever the strength.
And the trigger must hold its position even without the spring, meaning the trigger whole and the
string position in the trigger hook should be aligned with the arrow, so the trigger does not let go by
it self.
The trigger hook should also be shaped to prevent the trigger from letting go. The angle illustrated
below is really important. Too law and the trigger will let go by it self, Too high and the trigger will
be hard to pull.

Here is the Aluminium trigger part and the trigger assembled: TriggerAlu + TriggerAluThumb

Sights
The front and back sights should be attached to the wood top flanc.the front one can be adjusted left
or right.

Bracket
Though the bracket should be specific to each bow, I made it so it should be easy to be set on many
type of bow, since it uses the arrow rest screw.

Optional Front Handle
This handle act as a tension reliever. It allows to hold the tension really easily. It is snap in place and
one or several M3 screw can be used fix it safely.

Optional short arrow adapter

This is an adapter to be able to shoot short (<17cm) bolts, if the bolt is heavy enough. Because the
arrow should be heavy enough depending on the bow. This is still a work in progress since I do not
have short arrow yet, and I did not design a lever to hold the shot arrows in place :

Assembly
It is pretty straight forward, but takes about 5min when everything is well prepared. I put 2 springs
for the Lever since I only have weak springs. One spring is enough for the trigger since we want it
to be smooth and catch the string without having to pull it.
