About 3 shots in 2 minutes compared to a longbow of 12-16 arrows in the same time frame. This 1250 lb draw weight windlass crossbow can shoot about 250 yrds which is about the same as an 70 lb longbow but the bows from the Mary Rose wreck fired up to 350 yrds from 150 lb bow.
Give me a bow over a crossbow or smooth bore musket every time

Excellent video! Although I suspect our characters wouldn’t choose a windlass over a less powerful crossbow unless it was a character trait
Although looking at how hard it was for him to pull those bolts out after, imagine the damage caused!
