Crossbowmen!
The crossbow slowly rises to join the ranks of primitive hunting tools used in the U.S.A., bringing back its crossbowmen as well. Crossbowmen; were a light infantry fighting unit that used crossbows when in battle with opposing military forces during the Medieval era. Crossbowmen became quite useful as they could be trained in about a week to effectively shoot a crossbow, longbowmen continued to have a longer range and a faster rate of fire than crossbowmen but the problem was that it took to much time to train longbowmen to be effecient with the more powerful longbow.
Crossbowmen were eventually replaced in warfare by musketeers and riflemen.
