The crossbow, also known as crossbow or ballet, was extremely popular in the Middle Ages. With the advent of firearms, the crossbow lost its combat significance, but hunters continued to use it. A surge of interest in history gave the crossbow a new lease on life. Like any small arms or throwing weapon, the balestra must be shot.
It is necessary
- - crossbow;
- - bolts;
- - indoor shooting range;
- - targets;
- - equipped shooting position.
Instructions
Step 1
To shoot the crossbow, use the bolts of the same type with which you are going to shoot in the future. The flight path largely depends on the design of the bolt, its weight and other parameters. Be sure to shoot the crossbow indoors, since the bolts are highly exposed to the wind.
Step 2
Place the crossbow firmly in the firing position. Secure it with clamps. Fire three shots in a row at a target located at a distance of 5m. Without moving or shifting the target, connect the hit points of the bolts with lines so that a triangle is formed.
Step 3
Divide the sides of the triangle in half. Plot 3 medians. The intersection of the medians is the very point at which the crossbow is directed.
Step 4
Return to the crossbow and, without removing it from the clamps, aim the sight at this point. Secure the weapon firmly.
Step 5
Conduct control fire from a rigidly fixed crossbow at a distance of 10, 20 and 30 m. The maximum distance for a match crossbow is 30m, and for a field crossbow - 65m. During control firing, you can make range adjustments and adjustments to the scope.
Step 6
If the sight is optical or rack and pinion, you need to use the scale on it to correct. With a simple sight, corrections are introduced by eye.
