Hi, I found this unfamous Deadly Springs article, and I must agree that contrary to this "unfame", this is great article for me. But I have 2 troubles with this :(

1. Major problem. Crossbows. There is just one type of medieval crossbow, and in Low-Tech there are also Composite, Gastraphetes, Pistol Crossbows, Prodd, Slurbow, and few others. And I completely don't know how to build these types using spreadsheet.

2. What about Harsh Realism with Ranged Weapons (Low-Tech p.75) in relation to this article? Does this optional rule was incorporated (fully, or to some degree) in article-bow stats, or I should do this myself AFTER creation of the bow?
