About it
A crossbow is a short, strong bow fixed crosswise on a wooden stock. The drawn string is held back by a catch, so it can wait until the trigger lets it go. It shoots short, thick arrows called bolts. Crossbows were used in China more than 2,000 years ago and later all over medieval Europe, and today people shoot them at targets as a sport.
Tap it: the trigger lets the string go, the string snaps forward with a buzz and the bolt flies off along its groove. Then the string is drawn back and a new bolt appears. With ✋ Hands-on on, it starts cocked: tap it to pull the trigger and the bolt flies, then pull the string back until it clicks onto the catch, and a new bolt lies in the groove.
