I am sure that crossbows were used, I think it was even mentioned!

As to loading a crossbow, I do not have personal experience, however I know it takes only about a minute to load it. Think of it as loading a musket....

I also saw that episode of Mail Call, a very interesting show.

try this link, you can find information you could want to know about medieval warfare and arms as well as daily life.

If I see enough questions about weapons, especially medieval weapons, I will put up a post specifically baisc medeival weapoms, their uses amd other information that I would think would be useful. What do you think?
