If you are going to use a crossbow bolt for hunting, you can use a 150 pound crossbow bolts. Arrows and Points – If you want arrows that are able to shoot quicker, you have to use arrows with mechanical broad heads. You will only shoot slower when you use models with fixed blade broad heads. The performance and make of an arrow also have an effect on each other. Carbon shaft arrows work well with 100 grain points or lighter. On the contrary, aluminum arrows work better with 125-grain fixed points. Sights – There are three types of sight when it comes to crossbow bolts, iron, optical, and red-dot sights. When choosing the kind of sight, it is important to consider the exact range of the target to ensure a more precise

In 1893, Queen Lili’uokalani of Hawaii gave up her throne to the United States of America. About five years after in 1898, Hawaii was officially annexed and became a part of the U.S.A. During this time, the Hawaiian people were bitter and mournful as they watched the foreigners slowly take over their kingdom. Many foreigners came to Hawaii to achieve one goal, to increase the power of foreigners and decrease the power of Native Hawaiians. The kingdom of Hawaii was overthrown with the use of force and was unethically taken. Although Hawaii received benefits that were mainly in their economy, it still does not make up for the wrongful taking of the Hawaiian kingdom.
The ballista, or "shield piercer," was first developed by the Greeks using the same principles as a bow and arrow. Its primary use was to, as the name suggests, pierce enemy shields, since normal bows lacked the power to do so. Early versions of the ballista include the gastrophetes, which is nothing more than an enlarged bow that can be braced against the users body.
All guns serve different purposes. Guns have been a part of American history for many years. Many different kinds of guns have been used for many different types of jobs. In like manner hunters have different guns for different game. Just as police use guns for law enforcement, hunters use guns to harvest game. The two most commonly used firearms of hunters, are the rifle and the shotgun. Both the rifle and the shotgun are used for hunting, but the two have some major differences. The main differences between the two firearms are cost, range and the type of ammunition that each firearm uses. Most gun manufactures sell shotguns much cheaper than they sell rifles. Shotguns are not as complex internally, and have fewer parts than rifles. The simplicity of a shotgun also makes them easier to clean and maintain, which cuts down on cost. Being that shotguns have fewer parts than rifles, this helps with expense also. No matter how well a hunter takes care of his gun, over time internal parts will either brake or need to be replaced. If there are fewer parts, there is less to replace and less money to spend. Rifles on the other hand, seem to cost much more than shotguns. Rifles are much more complex internally than shotguns and therefore cost more to produce. Also when hunting with rifles some type of vision enhancement is require...

A catapult is a ballistic device that is uses to throw projectiles over a great distance. Although the catapult has been used since ancient times, it has proven to be one of the most effective mechanisms during warfare. The word 'catapult' comes from the Latin 'catapulta'. Castles and fortified walled cities were common during this period – and catapults were used as a key siege weapon against them. As well as attempting to breach the walls, flammable missiles could be thrown inside—or early biological warfare attempted with diseased carcasses or rotten garbage catapulted over the walls. The Medieval Catapults history dates back to ancient times. Various types of Medieval Catapults were used by the Chinese, Greeks and Romans. The Medieval Catapults reached Europe during the
Artillery generally falls into three basic categories; guns, howitzers and mortars. The main difference between them being the trajectory of the round fire. A gun has a high muzzle velocity and a very flat trajectory. Normally a gun is used in a direct fire mode where the target can be seen and penetration is desirable. Good targets for a gun would be things like brick or earth forts, ships, buildings, and targets in tree lines.
Long distance weapons were essential to European combat. The main long distance weapons used by Europeans during that time were the longbow and the crossbow. Each form of weaponry had its unique advantages and their pejorative. The long bow (shown in figure 1) was the original form of distance weapons. The term ‘bow’ means to be made from wood, iron or steel. The Welsh, who inhabited England, were the first people to use longbows. Longbows were 6-7 feet long and had a range of 250 yards, and still had the ability to pierce a knight’s armor (Byam 12). A well trained archer could shot 10- 12 arrows in a single minute. Despite these pro’s the longbow had a lot of disadvantages as well. One draw back was only skilled archers, who were costly to train, could use a longbow. Another disadvantage was it didn’t have a ready loaded arrow (Edge 34). The crossbow (shown in figure 2) on the other had been emphatically different. The crossbow had a span of 2-3 feet and could kill a knight on horseback with one shot, because of good aim (Byam 30). Crossbows had ready loaded projectiles, while the longbow didn’t and the crossbow could be used by anyone since it didn’t require any skill. The crossbow did have a down side though, it had slow reloaded because of a crank and it was expensive. Crossbows were also used for other thi...
During the Battle of Agincourt, Henry V gained crucial information about how the French were planning to attack on mounted cavalry. Using this information Henry V made his archers drive stakes into the ground at an angle that would pierce the horse with the stake. These stakes were placed in a dense group of bushes making it hard for a mounted rider to pass but just enough space for a slightly armed archer to move freely (Beck 1). Henry also fought using longbow contradicting how the French fought using crossbow. He taught his troops how to skillfully aim and shoot the bow. A longbow could fire up to 8-10 bows per minute compared to the French crossbow which could shoot up to 5-6 arrows a minute (BBC UK). A longbow was a better weapon than a crossbow and Henry V understood this and used it to his advantage. Overall Henry V’s fighting skills helped him to thrive when in
During the Middle Ages the medieval knights used different types of weapons during a battle. The medieval knights used swords, warhammer or a bow. The medieval knight have their own style of weapons and combat when fighting with weapons or not. These weapons are very different and used differently in a battle.

The purpose of the warhammer was to bash the opponent and armor to cause damage to the opponents. This weapon was based on strength and accuracy in hitting. The medieval knights used these weapons to fight or support each others ...
There are three different types of cannons from the Renaissance. The hand cannon, which was a small cannon piece in and on a pole, these were not very common and were developed and originated in China and spread across many parts of Asia eventually reaching Europe. The Bombards which are very large muzzle loading cannons that used huge ammunition and was very powerful. The Petards were the more common cannon that history sees being used all the way through the American civil war that defined our country and even after (“medieval weapons”).Cannons can actually be blamed as part of the reason castles started to become less common because cannons could blow right through the stone, and other materials that was used for building these castles.
David Almond explores the theme of imagination throughout his novel Skellig. From the first sentence to the very last, the theme of imagination was expressed through subplots and ideas. Questions and theories arose when Michael discovered Skellig in his garage. There were many situations throughout the novel where the reader has to think, ‘can this situation get better? do I believe that it can get better?’ David Almond activates the readers mind further by adding in winged creatures, both real and mythological, this allows each readers imagination to experience different thoughts about each activity in the novel. David Almond ties in belief and disbelief into the theme of imagination, complemented with excellent imagery, to create a vivid picture of the story in the readers mind. The story relates to David Almond more than most readers know. He had an ill sister when he was a child and Michael’s new house is very similar to the house that David Almond bought, right down to the toilet in the dining room.
Complex technical studies in recent times have shown that one can split a wooden arrow with another, but that it will become stuck in the first shaft, seems nearly impossible. Nowadays, this would be an ‘honor’ more likely for archers who are using tubular shafts made of aluminum or carbon.
The bow and arrow dates back to thousands of years ago, it is estimated that they were found anywhere from 18,000BC to 25,000BC. They were used all over the world, but the first arrowhead was discovered in Africa.

In the Stone Ages, drawings discovered in caves illustrated many simple segment bows with many different shapes; flat, paddle-shaped bows were shot by Andaman Islanders. Some bows were made with wood like elm and yew, while others were made with many different materials like animal bones, horns and tendons; this was called the composite bow.
