Traditional Crossbows

Like the longbow, the Crossbow is a standard of ranged medieval warfare. Compared to a longbow, a crossbow requires less training to use properly; bolts from a crossbow also had comparably high penetrating power when compared to a longbow fired arrow and for much less physical exertion from the wielder. Thus the weapon became an important part of medieval warfare, despite being heavier and more awkward then a traditional bow. Paying homage to this medieval weapon is a number of Decorative Crossbows, brought to you by Dark Knight Armoury. These crossbows are made from hand carved wood; every attention has been paid to ensure that these crossbows are as historically accurate as is possible. Each of these beautiful crossbows features functional, moving parts; they will propel the included bolt a short distance but are not actually made for shooting. The bolt is not propelled with enough force to make this a fully functional crossbow; nevertheless, do NOT fire the bolt at others. These amazing Medieval Crossbows are all excellent decorative pieces that are, first and foremost, designed to be incredible display pieces.
