Crossbows have a much higher draw than regular bows. This is because there is tension stored in the limbs of the bow. It does not take a necessarily heavy crossbow to send armour-piercing bolts at people, nor does it take a skilled man to use the device. The heavy German cranequins themselves had a draw weight of 780, and they cut through bodies like butter.
