Traditional bows are fully equipped.

Archery has a long and legendary history in ancient Korea, and it is also considered as a gathering place for archers. Noble children have been training archery since they were very young. Although the design of most ancient Korean weapons is simple and unadorned, some high-quality and complex weapons and equipment can be found in the Wang family's arsenal.

Korean bow, modern Korean bow began in the Korean peninsula. The traditional bow-making technology on the Korean Peninsula was influenced by the cockroach in Ming Dynasty, and indirectly incorporated into the manufacturing technology of the rib bow in West Asia, forming the later Korean bow. There are many kinds of bows in ancient Korea, such as war bow, target bow, ritual bow, straight bow, angle bow, twisted bow, etc ... Now only the target bow, war bow and ritual bow have been handed down.

Bow and target bow can be twisted into a circle when they are not wound. If you don't use it for a long time, it will gradually return to a circle, and even the bows are staggered. The chord splitting ridge of the traditional rib angle target bow is not as obvious as that of the modern laminated target bow.

North Korea's target bow is extremely efficient, and the bow can even participate in partial deformation, crushing the bow itself to the extreme. The bow arm is narrow, as wide as the arrow exit, and the grip is covered with hard sponge, which will be modified according to the hand shape, which is very beneficial to shooting far. We can learn from the law that modern Korean arches hit the target 145 meters.

Korean bow has a complete inheritance system. What archers really need is not accuracy, but physical strength and endurance, because it takes a lot of effort to open a bow that can shoot at a hundred paces and stabilize an arrow more than one meter long.

So to sum up, if the army uses crossbowmen as remote output, it is better to use bows and arrows. In addition, the cost of bows and arrows is also very low. In addition, the morale blow effect brought by archers' volley is self-evident. However, it's good to mix some crossbowmen's flat sniper in the army.
