This tackle set, the belt hook and pulley system used to draw a crossbow prod, is compatible with the AH5103N and AH5104N crossbow models.
Tackle of this kind offered a practical, portable drawing method for medieval crossbowmen, requiring less specialised equipment than a crannequin while still giving genuine mechanical assistance over drawing by hand alone.

This bolt loader is designed for use with Deepeeka’s current crossbow models (AH5102N, AH5103N and AH5104N), giving a practical way to load a bolt securely and consistently.
A dedicated loader speeds up the reloading process between shots, a genuine practical accessory for anyone using a crossbow regularly at re-enactment or target shooting.

A crossbow is a type of weapon based on the bow, consisting of a horizontal bow-like assembly, or prod, mounted on a stock and shooting projectiles called bolts or quarrels. The medieval crossbow was known by many regional names, most derived from the word ballista, the torsion siege engine it visually resembled.
This updated model reflects several genuine construction improvements: a lighter steel bow (prod), all-steel fittings, two-part rather than single-piece body construction, steel nuts in place of buffalo horn to prevent chipping, lighter and better-shaped triggers, and more practical stirrups.
Note that this version comes without a crannequin or loader, both sold separately, though the crannequin and loader pin are compatible with this model. Deepeeka’s reproduction recreates that improved medieval crossbow, part of our historical archery range.

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.

The crannequin is a geared cranking mechanism historically used to draw the heaviest crossbow prods, giving a user genuine mechanical advantage beyond what hand strength alone could achieve.
This crannequin is compatible with the AH5103N and AH5104N crossbow models, letting a wearer draw a heavier prod with real, practical ease compared to drawing by hand or belt hook alone.
