A good place to start might be New World Arbalest
(http://www.crossbows.net/). Click the link for 'Iolo's First Book of
Crossbows', it should at the least give you a good starting point. Also,
Iolo has researched period crossbows for ages, so if there's some
question you've got, he can likely answer it, or at least point you to
where to find the answer.
