This is cool Tim. I’ve been thinking about how to do something similar. Where did you get that type of coroplast? The stuff I found in a craft store was thinner (flimsier) but also somewhat heavy because the baffles were really close together.
Do the screws just sit inside the arrow shafts or do they connect/screw-in somehow?
The coroplast/ corrugated plastic is from advertisement sign, like used for business or political signs.
I just free handed the shape and cut it out with kitchen shears.
For the screws, I took one of the crossbow heads to the big box store and found screws the right length and threads to match.
I made the three holes in the tabletop with an awl and forced the screws through, so they don’t come out but turn freely to screw, securely, into the crossbow shafts.
