I give as a curiosity, as in Poland have a crossbow without permission is a crime and has not received authorization yet, no one. Also runner up of the world :-)

Good Lord! It looks like it has as much "stuff" on it as some  of the vertical bows we see today. It's cool though! Ok Vaguru......what do you think? :-)

This crossbow looks like a toy made by a drunken craft, but it is extremely precise and accurate to construct a machine which costs $ 7000. Sights come from Germany, brodheads from Japan, shots from the U.S., some parts were manufactured in Finland and Poland.

Yup, that's the kind of rigs I'll be shooting against with my lowly Apex.

Nice mustache though!

that is a pretty cool looking bow to shoot against though.. have seen some other offhand weapons that are pretty interesting too...and here I have practiced to assume feild rests and thought I was getting pretty good. lol

Wow that thing looks like a star wars crossbow!  How much does it weigh all together?  It looks like it should come with a tripod.  I bet that fellow could drive nails with that bow.

I was just reading old post and I found this.
I'm a big friend of Piotr, That championship had been in Portugal, we shoot and live together during a week in target we had discuss the 5º place for 6 points distance during all competition.
And yes, the number of licences that are need to shoot crossbow in Poland are incredible. I think just in Spain the laws against crossbow are worse.
I see that in the picture Piotr had is new crossbow. He do is one crossbows and they are vey good, they are not so heavy, probably 5kg (mine have 7,6kg). A target crossbow don't cost 7000! I think the most expensive model are a Pirineos elevated rail that cost around 2500€. A crossbow of 7000 are the match crossbows a very complex crossbows that have electric triggers, shoot some quind of «pens» and just have to sights related to the strengh of the bow and the distances: 10m ou 30m... They are only made in 2 swiss companies, and the competitions are from IAU federation. If you open the site of IAU you can see that strange type of bows.

I will thel Piotr on Facebook to come to our Forum. It's a great guy (to drink some beers).
He is in to the World Champs in Australia during this month, so I will speak to him soon.
