Bows vs. Crossbow (for discussion)

[Chris]

Wow this is actually really interesting to read, the only critical comment I can make is to remember that I can shoot an arrow once every 2-3 seconds while a crossbow man takes 10 seconds per shot.
This basically means that I can put on average 3-4 arrows in a target while crossbow men can only put one bolt in someone. So I can actually do more damage per second then crossbow man.

But other then that it was a really good read.
