While nowadays the construction and material costs of crossbows seem to be as neglectable as those of longbows, it should definiteley be mentioned that the components of crossbows in medieval times were by order of magnitude higher in costs than those of (long-)bows. Even a simple trigger mechanism with only a handfull of metall parts could only be produced by specialists. Not to mention the later introduced steel bow, which not only demanded for specialists to produce but as well highly sophisticated skills in metallurgy. ciao -- Pentaclebreaker ( talk) 08:21, 26 August 2022 (UTC)
