Which is really ironic, as my late father is the formal registered inventor of the Folding Crossbow.

No, this one isn’t a folding crossbow, but it does seem powerful enough to potentially be deadly. It’s raining today so I’ll have to wait for a good weather day and find an old used slab of wood for target practice.
Interesting, good to know in advance.
I’ll probably try it out first by shooting a tree a few times at the park, but of course I ain’t gonna make a hobby out of shooting trees ya know. There is a particular dead tree though…
