do you guys remember the ballista i was showing you? well i was exparamenting with release mecs, and the thing has so much power that every thing i try to use for a release gets wedged into the wood and needs the bow string to be taken off of it for me to even try to get it out.
so while exparamenting i tied a pice of paracord onto the string that fires the bolt and pulled it back and tied that to a peg, when i knocked the peg away from the string it did fire the bolt, but with a sever loss of power, due to the para cord dragging behind it.
to stop this i just cut the cord, right behind the firing string, but this is expensive on the para cord.
wow reading over what i typed this is all very hard to understand sorry im not very good at explaning things with out my hands.
all i need is a knot that will tie two cord's together, will hold under tension, and can be untied by just pulling on one cord. IT will be a release knot, then once i get a litte more free time on my hands ill make a big lever to release the fireing string.
