As a youngster, the only thing I knew about crossbows was what was seen in Robin Hood movies. It is now a completely different story.

Archers can use a crossbow to release more draw force than they can with long bows.

Crossbows can also be kept cocked and ready for shooting for a while, which makes it easier to aim better. Crossbows have a few disadvantages.

They are heavier and more awkward than bows, and they also fire at a slower rate and use less acceleration. Crossbows draw much shorter than bows.

Crossbows have a shorter draw length than bows, which means they require a heavier draw weight to transmit the same amount of energy to the arrow.

Crossbows are mainly used in archery for target shooting.

They are still being used in some parts of North America and other regions for hunting game.

Barnett Crossbows, Excalibur Crossbows, and Horton Crossbows are just a few of the most popular manufacturers.

There are many crossbows available. There are many differences in quality. A crossbow is an investment that will last for many years.

It is important to purchase the best crossbow possible for your budget.

Excalibur won the US National Crossbow Championships in the last eight years, and the Canadian 3-D Championship crossbow category for the past six years.

Excalibur is more than just an adjective. The same quality can be expected from Horton Crossbows as Barnett Assault recurve Crossbows.
