Yeah I was curious about that statement myself, the prod on my
period style Iolo bow is a steel Alchem prod that came off a combat
crossbow with six years service. Either of us had any problem with
it and I still use that crossbow for target and carry the bow for a
combat backup should my other combat bows fail during battle.
That may sound a bit strange however all three crossbows I used
during the fort battle at one Gulf War failed in that melee. I finished
the battle unarmed with a basket of full of unused missiles as we
were overrun, I was not happy!. Think that's what kick started me
making my own combat crossbows and now ya know why I carry
so many extra crossbows in the wagon at the edge of the world
during most melees! lol
If a steel prod is going to fail its going to fail early on, so far they
seem to have a lot longer life than the T-60 aluminum prods.
Replaced four in eight years, never have had any problem with
the steel other than replacing bridles or repairing stocks.

Interesting. I have been using one of Alchem's steel prods for
about 10 years. Never had or ever expect to have a problem with it.

I bought my last 2 prods from Alcheminc.com. They are
steel, look good and have held up so far.

Greetings,
Anyone know where crossbow prods can be purchased (and
are actually in stock) in order to make one's own
crossbow for combat?
Thanks,
kaitlyn
