This seems really massive and powerful just to shoot targets? A waste of resources in building. And a whole lot of extra work cocking it and just handling it in general.
Jasper, would you be able to get similar pictures with measurements of the one you posted?
Thanks!

sorry to re-confirm but it is 100% a Dutch Flemish target crossbow.
Mine the one on the pictures is even a bit "stronger"
lenght 97cm
width bow 90cm
thickness of bow @ block 2cm!
They are massive and had to be strong to shoot a rooster from a tower from a relatively large distance.
These ironbows were often marked, a small mark 3-4mm was struck in the bow , are there some remains to be found a bull's head or rooster or 5 pointed star or something else ?
best,
Jasper
