Hunting crossbow to be loaded with a crossbar The third fork, which holds the reinforcement plates in place, should contain bearings, which have been lost or removed. The staff of the crossbow is too weak for the turning action. It has a belt loop. It is richly encrusted with ivory, tinted green for foliage wreaths and white for flowers. Very long trigger. On the barrel, a hunter aims his crossbow at birds. The range has a great forward thrust.
