Crossbows outrange Longbows?

Let's try to differ without getting into personal comment.

Hi Guys,
I recently came across this: http://www.armbrust-manufaktur.de/mittelschwere_armbrust2.php.
This is apparently a 350kg crossbow loaded with a wippe goatsfoot; something that I have been told, on this forum, to be impossible. I'm not trying to flog a dead horse here, but let me state again that at the time of Azincourt, medieval people had the physical strength, technology and the incentive to build battle crossbows more powerful than people generally give them credit for.
Regards
James
