Is it harder to make a bow or a crossbow?
A crossbow is a composite weapon, meaning it is made out of many parts. A regular bow, however, can be a single stick with a length of string, so the crossbow is harder.
How do you cock a crossbow?
Cocking a crossbow involves putting your foot on the stirrup and pulling the string until it goes into the cocked position. What many people do not realize, is that if the string is not cocked evenly, then the crossbow will not shoot as accurately as it should. Since most people have a dominant, stronger arm, it is easy to cock the crossbow a little bit off center. Because of this, it is best to use a crossbow cocking device, such as a string cocker. String cockers also reduce the amount of pull you have on the bow, making it easier to cock. There are also crank cockers which even further reduce the amount of pull and these are great options for people that may not be strong enough to cock their own crossbow.

What does a crossbow fire?
The bowstring is drawn back, and caught by a mechanism that holds it in the drawn position. A crossbow bolt (arrow) is placed in the groove in the center, ahead of the string. Pulling the trigger releases the string, and fires the bolt. Some crossbows require a lever or winding mechanism to draw back the bowstring.

Since a Crossbow is like a rifle combined with a bow does a Crossbow have recoil or kick?
No. A crossbow is more like a bow mounted onto a stock with a trigger for firing. The stock is the only similarity to an actual rifle. Even the largest variation of a crossbow, the ballista, doesn't have any form of recoil. The force of the release of the string is apparent but negligible even in a large ballista.I am an historic re-enactor and have used both crossbow and ballista.
Can you use compound bow arrows for a crossbow?
You can, but they're too long. Crossbow bolts are shorter and easier to carry.
