介绍（中）	弩是中世纪最强大的射弹武器，由于手持枪支的效率不断提高，到16世纪中期，弩已不再广泛用于战争。然而，弩作为一种射击运动武器，尤其是狩猎运动武器，仍然很受欢迎，因为它的精度高，发射安静，根据武器的大小，投射物的射程可达400码。重型弩在中欧广泛用于大型狩猎，有巨大的枪形枪托，通常镶有雕刻的鹿角。虽然弓和释放机制是专家的工作，但枪托是由为枪支提供枪托的工匠和装饰师制作的较轻的弩是在意大利和法国发展起来的。这些刺或石弩被设计用来发射小石块或粘土颗粒（而不是箭），这样狐狸、貂皮和其他小动物的珍贵毛皮就不会被玷污。它们重量轻，易于装载。它们独特的、形状优美的果木经常雕刻或镶嵌骨头。
介绍（英）	The most powerful projectile weapon during the Middle Ages, the crossbow had gone out of general use in warfare by the mid-sixteenth century, as a result of the increasing efficiency of hand-held firearms. The crossbow remained popular, however, as a sporting weapon for target shooting and particularly for the hunt, because of its precision, quiet discharge, and the range of its projectiles—up to four hundred yards, depending on the size of the weapon. Heavy crossbows, widely used in central Europe for big-game hunting, had massive gun-shaped stocks, often veneered or inlaid with engraved staghorn. While the bows and the release mechanisms were the work of specialists, the stocks were made by the same artisans and decorators who provided stocks for firearms. Lighter forms of the crossbow evolved in Italy and France. These prodds, or stone crossbows, were designed to discharge small stones or clay pellets (rather than arrows) so that the valuable pelts of foxes, ermine, and other small animals would not be blemished. They were lightweight and easy to load. Their distinctive, gracefully shaped stocks of fruitwood were frequently carved or inlaid with bone.
