The technology of medieval crossbows remained largely unchanged for 500 years and then the renaissance changed everything.....Guns replaced bows for war, but the bow remained as a weapon of recreation, but with a new found complexity and the schnepper crossbow is a manifestation of this change.
This video explains the differences between both styles and showcases a schnepper crossbow with all the exciting new parts older bows didn't have.
Apologies, I should have shown more of the trigger system, but I made a similar bow and film a few years ago and you can find it here [ Ссылка ]. I also posted up a thread on the very excellent 'My Armoury' chat room and you can find that thread here [ Ссылка ]
