INTRODUCING THE DX WRIST MOUNTED CROSSBOW- As with the previous model, you'll only need:
-1x rubber band (I use size 16 from office depot)
-String
-Velcro/Elastic
And that's all!
This model vastly improves the comfort and ease of use of those before it, excelling in its ergonomics (and design) while providing the punch the previous models did. The aim of this version is to allow users to tailor the fit to them, using a blow dryer/lighter to gently mold the plastic around their measurements. With responsibility, you can quickly and easily form fit your wrist crossbow (with a hair dryer, it does not burn/hurt and is easily reworked.)

Firing:
To fire the new model, simply put the model together as shown in the photos. When flexing your hand backward with the T shaped “finger mount”, the string will tighten and push see-saw trigger, in turn pushing the elastic band upward until it is no longer caught. String length and operation will depend on the hand measurements and rubber band used, but both only require a small amount of working.
Bow Assembly:
The most difficult part of the assembly is putting the rubber band on. Simply copy the looping shown in the photo below to make the process easier, and don't forget to twist the band! (Using tweezers can help)
ASSEMBLY:
To begin, take the main body and locate the side with the indicated blow dryer symbol. Next, apply heat evenly to this side, and when malleable, press against your desired wrist until cooled into place. Next, glue your assembled bow flat side down to the front of the rail. Now, place your see-saw trigger into the back of the rail, aligning the holes. Use photo 4 as a reference. Now, take the printed pin and push it through until it is flush on both sides (Using a flat table can help!). Now, glue the arrow retention spring (shaped like ~) to the back in the cutout space. With that complete, simply tie a string to the see-saw trigger and send it through the 3 holes on the side. This completes the main body.
Finally, stitch your elastic/velcro to the main body, looping it through the optional arrow holder buckle. Tie the T shaped finger mount to your hand at an appropriate distance given your hand measurements, allowing for smooth and easy firing without hindering movement.
And its complete! Enjoy!
