Kim Lockhart / www.crossbowmen.com / crossbowmen.com.Crossbowmen - Definition: 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.
Last known use of crossbows by crossbowmen in military actions was by Serbian forces which were later used in ambush and anti-sniper operations against the Kosovo Liberation Army during the Kosovo War.
