I have to hold the whole thing up with muscle power, using both arms, and shoulders, and even back muscles.
I even have to use eye muscles to sight it!
And I have to squeeze the release (trigger) using muscle power; ya oughtta see the muscles in my index trigger finger.
Then there is the follow through - still using muscle power.

Gets kinda silly when ya want to argue the details, doesn't it!?!
It gets silly when people argue a crossbow and a conventional or compound bow are the same thing yes

Seen as the OP has only one post and this is it....this thread is even sillier.
