Perhaps slightly unrelated, but one of the problems with the warbow was the time needed to prepare for battles. The bow needed to be strung, defensive stakes were hammered into the ground etc. So it was difficult to use at a moments notice. The French realised this towards the end of the Hundred Years War and had success with surprise attacks on the English.

Joe M:
That's a good point, Simmon.  I had not thought of that.  I also did not think about the use of the crossbow for sentries.
