bows vs crossbows
I was looking at friend of mine shoot a crossbow that he has for kicks to target shoot. Why aren't they set up like a bow omly sideways ? I don't understand why it has arrow and string friction down the rail and you need to wax it after very 5 or 10 shots. why not have it release like a bow trigger and have a rest that contains it ? seem like it would be a lot quieter that way
