Here's a guy, "Todd," from "todsstuff," in England who is an ancient crossbow specialist. He shares a rather unique crossbow firing solid lead balls!

Renaissance stonebow or pellet bow


He builds and sells repro crossbows from ancient times--all from scratch. They are beautiful! He has one monster 1,000+ pound crossbow!



His video on English longbow arrows is most instructive:
