  1. From ancient China to medieval Europe, the crossbow reshaped warfare. Cheap, deadly, and revolutionary, it armed common soldiers, inspired the repeating design, and survived until gunpowder finally ended its dominance.

  2. I've managed to get a drawing done. It's been quite a while as I've been programming. Still here it is with a bad pun on quarrel.

  3. The waiting for delivery is over. Now I have to wait for the snow to melt.

  4. Anyone here have a lot of #crossbow experience? I want to get a lightweight one this Summer. Seeking some recommendations on some beginner ones that aren't super pricey.

    I was playing on my Steam Deck.

    This account "@shoppingtonz" is the one I use with access to a keyboard...so from this account I type very fast. I tend to type slow on mobile devices like the deck or android phones.

  6. Eduardo 1: Stranded Wildspace Merchant

    Eduardo 1, the first incarnation of Eduardo! In this version, he’s a dohwar artificer – a merchant from Wildspace and the Astral Sea, who after a deal with some githyanki went bad, escaped via a shipboard teleportation circle….only to find himself stranded on the “backwater” world of Toril, without a way home.

    That hasn’t kept him from using his knowledge of a peculiar magic called “science” to build his own equipment for adventuring and making a living, however….

  7. They arrested a man over the crossbow in Shoreditch but let him out again.
    I still think the River Thames will be the last word on this story.

  8. I expect that despite the massive resources at The Met's disposal the next we'll hear of this is when a body with a crossbow turns up in the Thames.

  9. Fletching? Where we're going* we don't need no stinking fletching!

    These are 10 inch long cuts of 30 inch long carbon arrows discarded at the range. #Crossbow #Archery #ReuseRecycleRevamp

  10. Daily Sketch Challenge 13/08/23: William Tell

    The apple shot we all know about was not the first time William Tell shot an apple from his son's head. It took a few practice shots before he had it cinched, though. And that's why in the folk tale he only has the one son.

    The two figures on the right are William Tell and his son from Hans Sandreuter's mosaic at the Swiss National Museum.

  11. From the “present day is just too damn #weird to briefly summarise” department: a #UK #court has heard that in 2021, encouraged by his #AI #chatbot girlfriend, a hooded, masked, and #crossbow-wielding, #Sith-inspired, #Sikh would-be #assassin of the late #Queen #Elizabeth sought bloody revenge for the 1919 #JallianwalaBagh massacre: vice.com/en/article/xgwgma/man #Elizabeth2 #StarWars #offbeat #odd #strange
