A crossbow is a type of bow consisting of a horizontal limb assembly mounted on a stock that shoots projectiles, called bolts or quarrels. The medieval crossbow was called by many names, most of which derived from the word ballista, a torsion engine resembling a crossbow in appearance.
Selecting the right broadhead for your hunting crossbow can be a tricky issue. Excalibur offers two tried and tested broadhead solutions with our crossbows. The Boltcutter fixed-blade broadhead has been tested and proven to be the most accurate hunting broadhead on the market. Our X-Act mechanical broadhead maintains maximum velocity and outstanding accuracy.
The crossbow, a weapon popular with Wookiees, vampire slayers and some modern hunters, looks like a cross between a bow and a rifle. Like a bow, it uses a fast-moving string to launch projectiles, but it also has a trigger and a stock, like a rifle.
