you will get the same amount of spring out of mild steel as out of higher carbon steel, the difference is the number of flexes before it breaks. At least that's what Jock Dempsey said on Anvilfire a few years ago.

Sesshoumaru there are many that know how to get spring steel, some who know how to make spring steel and a few who have made spring steel.

What are you wanting, specifically? A crossbow spring to put one together, or a project where you are learning metallurgy and want to make a crossbow for the knowledge?

I want a spring for a crossbow, but I'm also interested in how to make spring steel in general...
