Medieval Irish bow and crossbow drawings
« on: January 30, 2026, 05:54:55 pm »
These are the drawings of finds from Waterford in Ireland.  The archaeologist identified all of them as bow fragments but noted some quirks, like one had a completely straight edge.  I think some are now, but some are not, more likely being crossbows. Anyway , I hope you find them interesting and I'd love to hear your thoughts.
