How to make a mini crossbow with a trigger

To make your own crossbow, First boil water on the stove in a large pot. then the water starts to bubble, now turn the heat down to low and insert the 2 skewer sticks. Let wait for 45 minutes. After that, take out the skewers carefully and slowly bend both of them into a crescent shape together. If you have clamps, use those to keep the crescent shape until your sticks dry. After dried, then you have made your bow part of the crossbow. Check whether you duct tape each skewer together, and one on top of the other. NowPlace the center of the skewers into the chopsticks. About 1/4" from both ends of the bent skewers, wrap a 1/2" piece of string around the skewers and hot glue the string so it sets into place. Now you can also use rubber cement to make your own crossbow with.

Measure a piece of string that is a straight line from either end of the skewers. Tie a loop onto both ends of the string. Place the loops over the glued piece of string wrapped around your skewers. Duct tape a clothes pin to the chopsticks so the alligator teeth are facing the bow. The clothes pin should be placed on the opposite end of the chopsticks. Duct tape it over the teeth, just enough where you can still barely open the clothes pin. Make you own crossbow arrows by getting toothpicks and placing "flags" on one end. you can make these out of paper, or even duct tape. Glue of tape the flags and you're almost set to start target practice. To load your crossbow, pull the string back and insert it into clothespin. Place a toothpick arrow directly in front of the clothespin. To fire, open the clothespin to release the string and shoot the arrow forward.
