Hi Aitor,
I don't know much about ballistas I'm afraid. I do know that we did not use sinew or horsehair, but used pre-stretched cord of modern manufacture. As far as I know everything else is an accurate reproduction.
We have begun to display the ballista, shooting a range of 90m where it punches a very nice hole through 6mm plywood targets.
