The easiest thing to do would be to look on e-bay. They sell them all day long for a couple of bucks, in 50 and 80 lbs. I find the 80 lb. version more than suficient to hunt rabbits out to about 20 meters with broadhead arrows.

Why not just post it here? I’ve seen that issue on e-bay, but never owned it. what do they make the bow out of ?

I own a pistol crossbow, its a Phantom 35lb one, practically the cheapest you can buy, 36 at max.
Its not very accurate but it does the job the only problem with them are those shitty little bolts you get with them,
practically blunt (But the heads can be screwed off so I made my own by jamming the head of a soldern iron in one.
If you want a crossbow tho i suggest you look for Barnett, they are the largest manufacturer of crossbows in th UK.
