Does a longbow have greater range than a crossbow?
Yes
What are the advantages of longbow?
A longbow was much lighter than a crossbow and provided a better rate of fire.
Is there a specific term for an archer who uses a crossbow rather than a longbow?
Yes: arbalestier - from arbalest (crossbow).
What were some of the advantages of the longbow?
Long range, fair accuracy, less complicated design than the crossbow, faster reloading time than the crossbow.
What is the difference on runescape cross bow or long bow?
Bolts from the crossbow can be stronger than a longbow but longbow's can shoot arrows from long range and crossbows are useful to kill people on PVP or to kill them on any knids of Mini - game.But in my opinion , crossbows was my idea to use for hitting harder.
How was the crossbow invented?
they found their mommy. then they found it jk ok, the crossbow was invented when someone called Ch'in(thats actually his name) discovered an improved trigger mechanism and that turned into the crossbow because of the need for better weapons than the longbow
The could shoot farther than other similar weapons?
The increased range of the weapon allowed it to hit targets further away with greater accuracy compared to similar weapons.
What is a standard size window for a castle?
In the age of true Castle building nothing was standardized. This is further complicated by what bow the defenders would use. Crossbow arrow slits are considerably different in design than those intended for use by a longbow archer.
How far can crossbow shoot?
The longest documented shot on YouTube is 322 yards, or ~294.43 meters. This was a test for an accurate shot where he shot a 9-inch balloon. A crossbow can definitely shoot further, but accuracy becomes a problem. If you were standing on flat terrain and shot up at a 45 degree angle, my guess is that most crossbows won't get much further than 400 yards(365.76 meters)
How did the English longbow compare with the crossbow used by the genoes?
the longbow has a longer range, and a better rate of fire. the bow was easy to disassemble, so the bowstring could be taken off in the rain, to protect it. the crossbow was more powerful, but fired a heaver bolt, meaning there was less range. it was susceptible to failure in the rain, as the string could not be easily removed, and it took a lot more effort to prepare it for fire, by winching the bowstring onto its trigger after each shot. However, the crossbow also could be learnt far quicker and easier than the longbow, which took years of training and constant practice to be good with - which meant that while the crossbow itself was more complex to make, its use was cheaper for training soldiers.
What is the difference between a crossbow and a longbow?
a compound bow is shorter and uses pulleys to let the user holds the arrow back for long times. A Recurve bow is more like a typical longbow, with less power than a compound, and doesn't use the advantage of pulley's. you are constantly holding back whatever poundage the bow has, and poundage cannot be adjusted. poundage for a Recurve is around 40-60, and a compound has around 50-100 draw.
Does a re-curve bow shoot further than a longbow?
A recurve bow typically shoots arrows faster and can achieve greater distances than a longbow due to its design, which allows for greater energy storage and release upon shooting. The recurve shape helps to increase the bow's efficiency, making it capable of producing higher arrow speeds. However, factors like draw weight, arrow type, and shooting technique also play significant roles in determining the overall distance an arrow can travel. Ultimately, while recurve bows can shoot further under optimal conditions, the specific performance can vary based on individual circumstances.
