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 ...

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

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 ..
