Archery and crossbows

Crossbow is easier to aim with and furthermore releases its projectile with significantly bigger draw force than a traditional bow. The improvement already known by ancient Chinese made it efficient and threatening weapon of medieval battlefields but also usable for hunting. Crossbows still have their place in present shooting sports or military and their ammunition is not ordinary arrows but bolts (sometimes called quarrels) featured with metal tips.

The 54SiCr6 spring steel from which the sword blades are produced, have a high fatigue resistance. The chromium and silicon alloyed steel has high stability, hardness and abrasion resistance. A mold is filled with a prescribed composition of metals and these are then melted into an ingot in the steelworks. It is then rolled out to the required steel thickness. During hot rolling, the material becomes compact or denser (the crystalline structure is homogenized).
