I was going through some of my old photo's and came across some that I took of the BritBow, so I thought I'd load them up and give you a walkthrough of how I did it:
ONWARDS!!!
Firstly, start with a xbow that has seen better days

Now, slice that bad boy up so at least it's something like straight. This in my case included slicing the grip off.

Now grab your recon, and slice it up like so:

Cool no?
You're also going to need to trim the recon's handle down

Now add two strips of perspex. It's about 5mm thick, which should do the trick. Superglue them the plunger tube supports

Here's a close up of the trigger setup:

Now glue everything together and fill the gaps with metal reinforced epoxy

To finish, order some of the greatest internals from draconis and finish with a patriotic paintjob

Hope you had fun. I sure did...

Airsoft sight that actually works. But it's not glued on yet.
