What is the meaning for the idiom 'lost her bearings'?
Bearings is a nautical term similar to headings. It means the direction that you are going. If you've lost your bearings, you don't know where you are going. This is usually a figurative term meaning that someone has become confused in life and doesn't know what to do with themselves. An example would be "Since her husband died, Michelle has lost her bearings."
What does the idiom find your bearings or get your bearings mean?
An idiom relies on a once well-known action to express something as true but in a shorthand way. People do not walk around constantly now by using a compass, or stars, or the moss on the sides of trees. Yet, people used those methods in the past to "get / find their bearings". Now, "bearings" does not directly refer to a specific method, but as an idiom it now refers to those once well-known activities.

Is a slingshot considered a catapult?
Archery can be done with a crossbow. I believe it's the same with a crossbow as it is with a recurve, combat, or compound, in that there are tournaments and competitions and the targets are similar. Crossbow gets classified with archery due to some similarities in the equipment, but the form is entirely different; crossbow is more like rifle shooting than bow-and-arrow.
