>>65160539>start training crossbow early>outshoot even the best bowmenit's really that easy
>>65160577every bow nerd should have an apple placed on his own head and then forced to pick between an archer or a crossbowman to shoot at it
>>65160539>"It's just as good" crosbowfags seething with their low rate of fire and formation density
