I've seen you post this several times, and so far, nobody has
answered the question in *my* mind.

*What* is a crossbow "prod"? Do you mean "product"?

And no -- I can't supply the answer to your question, but
perhaps if you used more familiar terminology, someone else might.

And most people will be answering in the newsgroup, not via
e-mail.

Good Luck,
DoN.

I think he's reflecting a comment I made to him, in which I explained that I
have some data he may be able to use but that my scanner is dead. I told
Håken to prod me if he didn't hear from me in a few days.

Sorry, Håken, but my scanner is still dead, and the one intended for my
son's machine isn't set up yet. Hang in there, I have you in mind, and I
would like to get it to you as soon as I can.

By the way, the next time someone comments about your English (not Don, but
I saw someone else's comment yesterday), ask him how well he writes
Norwegian. g

The prod is the "bow" of a crossbow. He wants drawings to acheive a 230
pound draw weight in 8 inches of draw.

Nope -- that isn't it, as he used the same term in the article
to which you followed up. (It is still on my news sever, so I could
check)

So -- I guess that means that you, also, don't know what a
"crossbow prod" is.

I'm wondering whether it is a single part for a crossbow, or
simply sort for "product" to mean the whole thing. Since English
appears to not his first language, I would have to say that he is doing
quite well at communicating, but there is still that term which puzzles
me.

Enjoy,
DoN.

The owner of this site sells prods.

7/32" spring steel get you 220 to 265 pounds @ 8 inches draw.

It's not a cad drawing, but it's information.

Nope, 'don't know crossbows, I just have a book article about them. I guess
only Håken knows for sure what he means.

Thank you! This may help other to answer the original
question, too.

Thanks again,

Thanks. Some others posted that after I posted, but before you
did, so I had the answer by now.

It is a strange term for a spring or bow, but then a lot of
fields develop strange jargon.

Thanks again,
DoN.

A "prod" is the bow section of a crossbow.

Don't think I'd hang around to quarrel. I think I'd just bolt for cover.

But the second projectile launched in the encounter would be much
smaller, faster, and going in the opposite direction.

People with crossbows don't kill people, quarrels do!
