oh, and for people who are actually interested in the subject, rather than a pack of lies, this is a European nobleman's crossbow dated to about 1460. composite wood and horn with a comparably short stave of 25 inches. incomparable in length with a 70-inch yew longbow, even being able to shoot -15% in performance was arguably a feat of technology as it is.

why bother, when the subject was medieval crossbows? I did you a favour and gave you the later 11th century spec, just to show that even that wouldn't have been enough
