I don't think that the statement aboput crossbow accuracy is accurate (no pun intended), and crossbowmen were higher paid so they must have been on some use. Using a crossbow for a modern person isn't quite as easy as it looks particuarly when pulling the string back to be caught. Perhaps this is what the auther is referring to? |
