The Society for Creative Anachronism What can I say? If you're interested in the Medieval Period, and you don't know about the SCA, you should! Great source of information!

Stefan's Florilegium This is a collection of files that Stefan assembled from various sources within the SCA. The information in these files comes from the Rialto newsgroup (rec.org.sca), the old fidonet medieval echo conferance area, various mail lists and articles submitted by their authors. It is not the easiest site to gleen information from, but the information it contains is extensive.

The Crossbowman's Den Please visit this page. It belongs to the late Robin Allen, a WONDERFUL and exceptionally tallented maker of crossbows. Robin graciously hosted me in his home for a couple of weeks and helped me get most of the way towards making my first Medieval replica crossbow. Sadly, this funny, kind, and giving man is no longer with us, but his website remains.

Ausbow -- These Aussie folks sell not only crossbows and longbows, but they sell plans and a kit for a Medieval style crossbow. I know someone who bought the crossbow plans (for $25 Austrailian I believe) and thought they were excellent.
