Crossbows

A crossbow is a type of weapon, based on the bow, consisting of a horizontal bow-like assembly mounted on a stock, that shoots projectiles called bolts or quarrels. The medieval crossbow was called by many names, most of which derived from the word ballista, a torsion siege engine resembling a crossbow.

    Stone Bow, Bullet-Shooting Crossbow, Deluxe

    SKU: AH5115D

    The stonebow, a portable off-shoot of the crossbow, was arguably the most common variant, first mentioned in European sources in the 14th century.

    More accurately described as a bullet-shooting crossbow, the stonebow saw genuine improvements over time, including greater power, a better lock mechanism, and an improved lever for drawing the bow. This deluxe version offers a higher-specification build than our standard stonebow.
