Got this book .. http://www.amazon.co.uk/European-Crossbows-Survey-Armouries-Monograph/dp/0948092203 Some interesting history, and medieval methods of manufacture. Got it from the Royal Armouries bookshop in Leeds, UK. No longer in print, but there is a book about Springalds on the RA site .. which I might get ... http://www.royalarmouriesshop.org/acatalog/Springalds_and_Great_Crossbows.html Was skiving at work, wandering about with nothing better to do. Saw first mentioned book, and bought it. Never been to war with a crossbow ... or without one for that matter. :D Dave BC |

Rob Yup!, or at least it was. :D :D Surprise eh? Not compulsory, but 'twas available for a few if you wanted to do it. Never appealed to me much. Slamming arrows into a target, only to have to pull 'em out again. (Pointless.... :lol: :lol:) I don't like any 'sport' that involves moving ... I greatly admire molluscs and the like ... they've got the right idea, just amble about eating and watching the scenery. That's it..... Me...... An Olympic Standard LIMPETTER !!!! Gone a bit :offtopic: your fault , leading me astray, ... again .. Dave BC |
