Great for Fun, Sport, Hunting, or Target Shooting.
The
exploration of the crossbow, a
weapon used for centuries, will
fascinate historians and enthusiasts
alike. The crossbow, probably first
introduced to England by the Norman
invaders in 1066, was once
considered so barbarous that it was
prohibited as a “weapon hateful to
God and unfit for Christians.” Yet
it successfully defended many an
early Brit and its present-day
corollaries are used by sportsmen
everywhere. Also carefully
considered are the weapons from
which the crossbow is thought to
have been adapted, including the
ballista and similar siege engines.
