They do bows and crossbows, and arrows and bolts. They're overseas, but will ship worldwide.

Couple of issue's with these folks. They are German and if they speak English at all it's very limited. I've sent them several email to ask about U.S. shipping and gotten no reply. I've also tried to contact them through ebay with the same result.So will they ship world wide? Yes but under what circumstances and price point? Another issue being they offer like 5 diffrent crossbows but only picture one up on the site. Several diffrent pictures of the one but only the one. Also keep in mind if they claim the value of the bows on the costums form you are going to have to pay a tarrif something along the lines of 20% so thats a hefty potential increase. Also would probably want to be mindful of buying arrows. I don't think Bambus arrows have been approved by any major american larp of yet.

Their shipping information, arrow construction, and pretty much everything you are asking is on this page (I only glanced but it looks like they have several different pics of crossbows):

I apprecaite the heads up on the shipping.
I'm still fairly certain on the pic issue. Looks to me like all the images save for the minicross are all the William Tell with diffrent glazes.
Shame the shipping is so brutal.

If there's a need for a bunch of crossbows & bolts, I might arrange a bulk order to save on shipping. Anyone else interested? I'd think I'd need 2 more Crossbows to meet the minimum.

Maybe the answer is to see if anyone here speaks german and email them your questions in german. if their english isn't great that might be their basis for lag time in responding.

I totally wrote a company in Italian once. I let them know of course that my Italian was not that great, but they emailed me back way fast with a translator - people appreciate that sort of thing, even if its just making an attempt.

This company has responded to me, in English, in a timely manner when I emailed them.

I emailed them this morning, and within an hour had a response - they definitely are attentive.
I asked about a bulk order - from their quote, a 25# "Big" Crossbow, plus 6 Bolts, would come in at $90 including shipping and handling.
I'll be getting one for myself, as well as some for other people. If you would like one, PM or post here, and I'll get you in on the order. I'll need the $90 before hand, preferably by PayPal, since that is how I will be paying them.
I'll try to make the order the weekend after the Banquet (1 week from now), so that way people can hand me the money if PayPal is not an option.
