Hoorayz! Now we just need to do the rubberbands and you're good to go!

This is what to do with the rubber bands. You can either use size 32# rubber bands or size 64# rubberbands. Though I suggest you use three 64#'s instead of two 32#'s for each string.

1.Get six 32# rubberbands or nine 64# rubberbands.
2.Lay them out like so
3.Cross them over like so
4.Pull them a bit tighter
5.Then pull them together fully
6.Do that to all of the rubberbands (If you are using 64#'s, you should still only have three strings, but three rubberbands in each string)
7.Attach them onto the bow like shown
8.A close-up of where they attach

Congratz! You have finished the crossbow! Go and have fun!
