Hawkwind in search of space blogspot8/29/2023 ![]() (That off course does not justify a shout into darkness "crossbows" in one of previous posts.) ![]() I have also made 20 or so medieval crossbows and by that I mean with friction bedded antler roller nut mechanisms and sinewed prods, not your usual SCA crap. I m professionall bowyer, with more than 1000 bows made, in buissnes since 2000 and I shoot 100# warbow. Placing the arrow is the key, but so it is with bullet and there is enough pricks with guns to assure that there is also going to be enough of wounded and suffering animals. In fact its reported that these animals can continue to eat grass and die quietly after couple of seconds. It happens usually at short distances up to 20 yards and most of hits to torso on animal like deer are lethal. Or not in terms you imagine it - certainly it is not worse than hunting with the rifle. Arrows have much greater sectionall density than bullets and they cause different type of injury. Also its penetrative power is not dependant on KE that much but more on momentum. Killing power of projectile like an arrow cannot be compared to firearms on terms of KE.
