Discover the world of crossbows, this weapon perfected over centuries, powerful and silent, beloved by survivalists...
The design of the crossbow dates back millennia. It is commonly accepted that the first crossbows appeared in ancient China around the 5th century BC.
The original crossbow consisted of a bow fixed crosswise on a wooden stock. The projectiles are called bolts and are shorter than traditional arrows, although their length can vary. Over the centuries, the crossbow's bow was made of wood, iron, or steel. It was mainly used in wars and for hunting.
Today, crossbows have gained new relevance for game hunting, target shooting, sport shooting, or competition. Thus, manufacturers have increased their offerings by developing increasingly sophisticated and powerful products, particularly with materials such as fiberglass.
Although the two main types of crossbows are the recurve and the compound, there are hundreds of crossbow categories such as:
- - tactical crossbow
- - semi-automatic crossbow
- - crossbow rifle
- - heavy crossbow
- - mini crossbow
- - hunting crossbow
So how do you know which one is best for you? When making your choice, it's important to first ask yourself what you intend to do with it.
Whether you're hunters, collectors, competitive shooters, or simple enthusiasts, you all have different expectations for your preferred projectile weapon.
