I was waiting for the catastrophic failure. When he was sitting on the hay bales his right hand kept closing on the pinch point between the limbs and the front of the bow. If the string had snapped his fingers might have got pinched and good luck trying to pull back 1000lb limbs without mechanical help. It was very interesting, I assumed the crossbow was a formidable weapon, but when you can see it was only good for two shots at cavalry, it seems like a waste of resources compared to a longbow.
